[@bubsies2311]

I actually don't buy that they kept them food deprived or they would be heavily fined by the USDA for every cat that they were treating that way. It's quite literally illegal and all animals used in testing are supposed to be kept in the least stressful way possible and depriving them off food for their lifetime would count as animal abuse and they would have been shut down. All testing facilities will have enrichment programs and as she said they were well socialized for easy handling which likely was due to enrichment. This is actually crazy. I'm not saying they were treated like they would have been in homes but I think this is highly exaggerated.

[@RegalRoyalWasTaken]

Scientific testing is important, but it should never, ever, EVER come at the expense of another living thing if it can be helped.

[@nagisamomoe125]

the cats aren't starved, they just go hungry for a while. i pretty sure that most cat owners would make their cats go hungry for a while when they're picky. Let's say that you're right, and THEY are starving the cats. Since some of the cats may actually starve to death, they'd have to breed more to make up for the loss. And just to be clear, BREEDING ANIMALS IS A NIGHTMARE. it takes up a lot of time, and resources. they may not even produce any offspring. AND they'd have to condition the cats to make them friendlier. So overall, starving the cats would be a waste of resources and time. So unlikely they actually starved them, the cats probably just went hungry for like an hour.

If I were in prison with no hope of going traveling to visit anything in the world, to water-ski or skydive or whatever,I would agree to participate in the testing of new procedures, new medicines, etc.. Naturally it would require a security guard to accompany me, but that could be covered by donations from taxes or animal lovers.

So AWESOME! And I LOVE that you are working on animal free lab testing. SO GOOD. Thank you ❤️.

[@thyagofurtado]

Scientists will argue that currently it's impossible to avoid animal testing. I don't know anything about that, and strongly support animal-free testing. But certainly one thing that I know is that it's completely and utterly absurd to torture animals for vanity products such as water resistant makeup, stronger deodorants, etc. Legislation should start there. Life saving drugs against cancer and such might have a little bit of an argument, but vanity products are simply inexcusable. I can't believe animal testing is still allowed for vanity products at all.

There should never be any reasons to do cruel animal testings. Thank you for rescuing this sweetest boy ❤ Now he finally has loving forever mom & home, which he so much deserves ❤️

[@lindasargent4771]

Unfortunately it will never end. As long as they get huge govt. funding. It always comes down to money! Thank you for giving this beautiful kitty a new and loving home. Your awesome!!

[@jjradV]

lindasargent, you can help it end by purchasing only cruelty free products, A cruelty free logo or statement should be visible on the package of any product you buy,if not research cruelty free products ,purchase those and accept nothing less.

[@ErinSharoni]

Hi! I’m Bagel’s mom. Thanks for your kind words 🩵 I agree money is the primary driver for this cruelty - but it can end, because animal-free testing alternative technologies like organs-on-chips, mini organoids, and even AI models, are both more accurate and (eventually will be) more cost efficient! Animal testing has a 95% failure rate in translation to human clinical trials. For drug development and discovery, animals are largely useless. The status quo is going to change soon, and it will mark a paradigm shift in science! ☺️

[@Buksyuri]

How do you replace testing on animals???

[@armlovesmetal1036]

@@Buksyuri Computer models, lab grown tissue samples and other scientific methods other than using innocent animals for their cruelty which has been proven not to work since many animals metabolize substances different that our own bodies. Maybe get some convicted murderers to subject themselves to these experiments.

[@olganovikova4338]

There are many reasons for animal testing and animal model based research.

[@forensicgirl]

@@Buksyuri Computer simulations, cell cultures taken from adult volunteers and grown in a lab (often this just involves collecting some cells from the lining of your cheek with a swab), only using ingredients that are already known to be safe, testing on human volunteers (I think the Body Shop does this, although I might be wrong), using discarded placentas that are then cultured and grown in a lab. The vast majority of animal testing being done is for either cosmetics (a want, not a need) or household products like cleaners (again need, not want) and all that testing is unnecessary so just eliminating that will reduce the amount of animal testing done by a huge amount. For more information about alternatives, check out the Canadian Centre for Alternatives to Animal Methods at the University of Windsor in Ontario. "The Canadian Centre for Alternatives to Animal Methods (CCAAM) and the Canadian Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (CaCVAM) aim to develop, validate, and promote non-animal, human biology-based platforms in biomedical research, education, and chemical safety testing." Personally, I only support the following methods of obtaining human tissue for testing: 1) From a deceased person who has donated their body for medical research, 2) Cells/tissue obtained from adult volunteers 3) Discarded placentas or umbilical cord blood.

Humans just need to only eat free-range prey, living in nature or on a real farm and having sunshine and natural food to eat and some peace. There is no shame in eating prey - just like cats, our metabolism requires that protein and iron. Doing animal testing is sickening.
