To you it is, to me not so much.It would happen either way that's what I WROTE! You clearly do not know what you talking about the world is being destroyed by mankind. But that's fine because it will "save millions of lives", killing everything else. You just don't care about animals, and let's be fair the Holocaust was useful for research, the experiments that Nazi soldiers performed are useful and are still taught to this day, twin studies is a prime example. Do you think that research was worth the sacrifices?
The difference is, the Holocaust used fucking human beings for these "tests" (most of which were scientifically unsound to boot); animal testing uses animals (note: Not human beings) in trials to ensure that they are safe and effective, and this testing is bound to the scientific method. Of course, with a perspective as warped and twisted as yours, that might be difficult to discern.
And hey, using the Nazis for argumentative cheap shots? No wonder PETA stays on your good graces. Just so you know, that easily cuts both ways, like...
Hey, you know what other group considered the lives of their fellow man to be worth less than those of animals?
Hey, you know who else was a vegetarian?
Etc., Etc. But that's not good arguing. It's a sign of desperation on your part that you have to resort to exploiting one of the most horrific events in modern history.
And have I ever said that mankind has not damaged the world? Nope, but hey, I get why you would make the mistake; good reading comprehension skills are hard to come by. Yes, damage has been done, and continues to be done, but that has been the price for the technological and societal wonders we have. Man, unlike any other species on the face of the Earth, has an increasing capacity and willingness to actively repair and improve the natural world.
Also, this is not about whether or not I care for animals; this is about having perspective. The value and dignity of a human life far exceeds that of any animal, period. To say otherwise is to be, quite frankly, completely and utterly wrong. To continue to hold that belief and act upon it is a sign of serious issues that should addressed at once by a professional.
And because it fits so well, I think I will leave this here.
