@bjkingape About me, I worked in a level 2 lab, a specialized vivarium at a large university when I was in my 20’s. It really messed me up, can’t eat meat, can’t drink milk. But people are alive & healthy from the research medical science does.
We can’t do these tests on humans first. Humans would die, it is better animals die first.
I am sorry to share this, especially at Christmas time. Wishing you the best!
Jessica, there are now many alternatives to animal research. Here is my attempt at summarising in plain English what I found in the peer-reviewed literature:
