    im-vegan too, if you couldn’t tell.

    The problem right now is that it’s hard to determine if someone is giving fully informed and willing consent for what might be a suicide mission if there’s any sort of profit incentive. Perhaps some people would be willing to go anyway, but I would wonder if part of their drive is to escape the current state of the planet, which can be changed. I think researchers should be the ones testing their own inventions and medications instead of doing it on animals, but the more likely scenario is that they’ll enlist poor people to do it if they’re no longer allowed to use animals. It’s a lose/lose scenario until that profit motive is gone.

    • Damn morally superior people always mentioning their moral superiority while making a morally superior argument. Let me eat my eggs in peace (I still eat eggs but I promise only from farms that have lots of space for their chickens, I’m almost there comrade)
