From what I understand, when the brain becomes deprived of oxygen rapidly, it may be disconcerning, but if they are slowly suffocated then you feel a bit light headed, dizzy, you start yawning alot, then eventually you get tired as lactic acid builds up in your system, like after a strenous workout but Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627147979307495870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310450667755637519.post-30571376561822623822009-09-19T09:52:20.356-05:002009-09-19T09:52:20.356-05:00But yes--it makes no sense to be extremely worried...<i>But yes--it makes no sense to be extremely worried about animal experimentation, but to take eating animals for granted.</i><br /> <br />It makes no sense only if you assume that people know what the proportions are, or that people know how bad agribusiness can be. <br /><br />Consider just the two formulations:<br /><br />Eating animals<br /><br />vs.<br /><br />Experimenting on animals<br />Faustnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310450667755637519.post-31175177409763167122009-09-19T08:45:23.586-05:002009-09-19T08:45:23.586-05:00Emma, Mostly I agree.

Animal experimentation is easier to justify, and also done on a much smaller scale (only about 1-2% of the animals killed in this country yearly are killed in labs). The worry is that some experiments really are very painful for animals, and some extremely painful. Sometimes the point is to cause them pain--so that pain-relief drugs can be studied. But yes--it makes no Jean Kazezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00592593002719828153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310450667755637519.post-64138668664190616402009-09-19T08:01:51.777-05:002009-09-19T08:01:51.777-05:00I like that they euthanize animals with carbon dio...I like that they euthanize animals with carbon dioxide... but I just wish they didn't have to euthanize any animal.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627147979307495870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310450667755637519.post-31803847856153344112009-09-18T14:48:20.925-05:002009-09-18T14:48:20.925-05:00I have always thought that the suffering and death...I have always thought that the suffering and death of animals in labs must be minimal compared to the suffering of many animals raised on farms for food, simply because of the tighter controls. It also happens on a much smaller scale. I have also always found it strange that people will be up in arms about animal testing when often the intent is to work on drugs to improve or prolong human healthEmma Evansnoreply@blogger.com
