nature taking it's course is one thing, and i don't think that's the thing we're all talking about here. of course it's impossible to live without causing some... death? i don't know the right word. but that doesn't mean that it's ok to cage animals and experiment on them. and no, i don't really think human life is more "important" than any other. maybe we should try to define "important," as i do not think that in the grand scheme of things, human life carries any more value than any other life. i didn't pose the question. i'm simply trying to respond to it in a way that gets my point across the questioner.

yes. and yes. if we never started in the beginning, we wouldn't know any different and wouldn't consider it a loss, i think.

while i personally think animals are suffering and testing on them is unforgivable, let's set that aside. forget the debate about animal suffering and the sizes of cages and blah blah blah. i just don't understand where people get off thinking that human lives are more important than other life. life is life. it seems that we are screwing with nature here, and if we'd left it alone, perhaps we wouldn't have nearly as much human suffering. the whole practice just seems incredibly barbaric and outdated to me.
