Testing on animals :

What is one persons touchy feely bullshit is another persons heartfelt
belief, and I wouldn't want to knock either party.  I'm a big fan of
individual responsibility and choice and while I can't decide whether
testing on animals occurs, I can decide whether to participate, either
directly or by buying the stock.  Therefore, I can have my opinion
without in any way inhibiting others from having theirs.  

Personally, I don't have an issue with testing on animals.  I love
animals too, so ensure that all animals I have responsibility for are
not wired up to a machine and prodded at by scientists.  Bottom line
however :
science has been assisted through animal testing, humans have been
assisted through the resulting products, and businesses have been
assisted through the resulting profits.  

Cheers,
Phil
