Well.  I am definately against the testing of products on animals, too.  But there are just not enough people willing to risk themselves for the sake of science.  I will admit that I take several medications that were tested on animals.  One of those is my blood pressure medication.  Without that I wouldn't be able to dance or play soccer or tennis, I'd be hooked up to oxygen, and chances are I'd end up dying a really early death before I even got the chance to speak out against animal testing and make a difference.

Here's the thing.  You shouldn't feel guilty about it because it's your life.   I'm aware that it was their lives as well... But that has already happened.  And it always, always will.  Their lives have been put up so that you can get well.  And as long as animal testing is not going to change, their lives are just being wasted if the product is untouched to save lives.

And weigh it out as well.  Millions of lives are saved because those poor, brave animals have made that possible.  I don't even know what else to say to make people understand what I'm trying to say.  But I definately love animals... and I refuse to use any animal tested products aside from the medications I have to take to stay alive.

That's it ^_^
