Yep, I don’t think the benefit we get from animal testing justifies exploiting animals like we do. I’d rather die because we don’t know how to cure me than force any animals through what we do to them in testing, and I think it’s selfish to say they should suffer for our gain. And to be clear there are aspects of my life where I act hypocritically there (e.g. crop deaths) but I’m working towards getting to a spot where I don’t depend on that kind of thing, and if we as a species actually put our minds to it I think we could solve those problems so it didn’t take such a tremendous amount of personal effort to stop contributing to it. But we need enough people to even recognize it’s a problem worth solving first.
