Als jou redelijke grens totaal geen dierproeven inhoud vind ik hem totaal niet redelijk. Als je het alleen voor medicijnen ziet vind ik het hypocriet. Maar vertel het eerst maar eens.
quote van mijzelf eerder in dit topic
quote:
Ik vind het zo een moeilijk onderwerp, waar ik zelf de grens zou trekken. Het liefst zou ik zien dat er totaal geen dierproeven zouden zijn. Maar ik ben me ervan bewust dat ik erg naief is.
Als ik zelf bijv. kanker zou krijgen zou ik ook medicijnen willen hebben, waarvan ik weet dat die op dieren zijn getest.
Ik vind die linkse terroristen verschrikkelijk (die nertsen loslaten bijvoorbeeld), ze bereiken er niets mee, die beestjes overleven het niet in de natuur, en de volgende dag heeft de fokker al weer een nieuw nestje.
Ik keur het trouwens niet goed dat er proeven gedaan worden bij dieren, ik leg me erbij neer.
Natuurlijk zou ik als ik ziek ben ook geholpen willen worden, ik ben me er van bewust dat de medicijnen die ik dan krijg hoogstwaarschijnlijk zijn getest op dieren. Dat ik toch die medicijnen aan zal nemen, wil niet zeggen dat ik het er mee eens ben.
Als ik de keus zou hebben om een medicijn waar van de kans op herstel niet zeker is maar het is niet op dieren getest dan zou ik daar voor kiezen.
Er zijn zoveel dingen in de wereld waar ik het niet mee eens ben, maar ik leef nou eenmaal niet op een eilandje.
Mijn grens ligt bij alles wat ik persoonlijk onnodig vind. Cosmetica vind ik persoonlijk onnodig dus dat is al een stukje van mijn grens.
quote:
1. British researchers blinded two domestic tabby kittens by sewing up their conjunctivae and eyelids. The kittens were then placed in a special holder and horseradish peroxidase was injected into their brains. The kittens were then killed.
2. Three researchers conducted an experiment in which female hamsters were distracted with sunflower seeds so that their babies could be removed from the nest a few hours after birth.
Under 'hypothermic anaesthesia' the baby hamsters had their left eyes removed. They were then returned to their mothers. The scientists used fifty-nine golden hamsters in this experiment and removed the left eyes from 'about half'.
3. At the United States Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, a researcher spent nine weeks forcing thirty-nine monkeys to run on a cylindrical treadmill known as an'activity wheel'. If the monkeys failed to run for long enough they got an electric shock.
4. Researchers funded by the UK Medical Research Council gave ferrets a drug that made them vomit at between half minute and five minute intervals. The researchers gave the ferrets another drug and concluded that under some circumstances the ferrets did not stand up to vomit and that under the influence of the second drug their vomiting was less forceful.
5. Three adult female cats were selected for a Welsh laboratory experiment because they were very docile. Wires from the cats' eyes were connected to a device held in place on the cats' skulls with selftapping stainless steel screws. The cats were kept awake and their eye movements measured while their bodies were rotated and tilted and stimulated in other ways.
6. American researchers separated young kittens from their mothers to see what effect this had. At the end of the experiment the scientists concluded that separated kittens cried more than those who remained in close contact with their mothers. The scientists added that the crying seemed to denote stress.
7. Two eminent researchers working in America conducted a series of experiments designed to make baby monkeys depressed. To begin with they created a cloth, surrogate mother which could be triggered to blow out high pressure compressed air. When the baby monkey went to give its fake mum a hug the researcher would press a button and try to blast the baby monkey away. However, this did not work and the baby monkey merely clung on tighter. The researchers then built a surrogate monster mother that was designed to rock so violently that the baby's 'head and teeth would rattle'. Again, the baby monkey just clung on tightly. The third monster had a wire frame built into its body. The frame was designed to throw the baby away from it. This worked to a certain extent in that it did successfully separate the baby from its fake mother but the baby monkey just picked itself up and went back to its fake mother immediately afterwards. In a final attempt to alienate, terrify and thus depress the baby monkey the researchers built a 'porcupine' mother from which, at the press of a remote switch, sharp brass spikes would leap out. Once again the experiment was a failure for although the baby monkey was upset by the spikes it simply waited until the spikes had been withdrawn before returning to its mother.
The same researchers also created a 'well of despair' for monkeys. They built a vertical chamber with stainless steel sides and a rounded bottom and put young monkeys in it for weeks at a time. On this occasion the two researchers were successful. The monkeys eventually sat huddled at the bottom of the chamber looking depressed.
9. Scottish scientists pushed fine polythene tubes into rats' brains. They then put balloons into the rats' brains and blew them up. They found that all the rats suffered brain damage but that the smaller balloons did not produce as much damage as the big balloons.
10. Four British research scientists surgically joined together 224 individual rats to make 112 sets of 'fake' siamese twins.
11. Rats' tails were immersed in hot water so that the experimenters could study pain in rats.
12. Ten beagle dogs were deliberately given stomach ulcers.
13. Balloons made from condoms were pushed into dogs' stomachs through metal tubes and then filled with water. During the experiment the dogs, which were hung in slings, were kept awake.
14. The livers, kidneys and lungs of Guernsey calves were deliberately damaged to see how this affected the way the animals responded to drugs. The researchers concluded that animals with damaged organs sometimes get more unpleasant side effects when they take drugs.
15. Six monkeys were given a drug so that they would develop Parkinson's disease. They were then given the drug which is commonly used to treat Parkinson's disease in humans. When the monkeys' symptoms improved they were killed.
16. Cuts were made in the bodies of pregnant rats and metal screws cooled in liquid nitrogen were held against the developing heads of the baby rats. The baby rats were later killed and their brains removed so that the amount of damage could be assessed.
17. Two researchers in London found that if they breathed heavily on ants as they came out of their nest early in the morning the ants panicked.
18 Three research workers shot around twenty monkeys just above the eye and then watched to see how long it took them to die. One monkey survived for over two and a half hours.
19. A psychologist removed a monkey's visual cortex and then kept the blinded monkey for six years so that he could study her behaviour.
20. Researchers have kept the brains of animals alive outside their bodies and have transplanted the heads of monkeys onto the bodies of other animals. Such experiments have taken place in a number of laboratories.
21. An American researcher gave a pair of rats a total of 15,000 electric shocks in seven and a half hours. Later the researcher heated the cage floor so that the rats inside jumped about, licking their feet, as the floor got hotter and hotter.
22. Researchers clipped the hair from forty beagle puppies. They then put kerosenesoaked gauze onto the beagles' naked bodies and set fire to the gauze.
23. In a series of experiments conducted in France, over thirty baboons were killed in forty miles an hour fake car crashes. A number of monkeys were killed when their skulls were hit with a hammering device. The experiments showed that animals would be endangered if they drove cars into walls at forty miles an hour.
24. In a Canadian experiment three polar bears were made to swim through a tank filled with crude oil and water. When the oil coated their fur the bears tried to lick themselves clean. They swallowed so much oil that they developed kidney failure and died. The conclusion was that polar bears should be kept away from oil slicks.
25. Two experimental scientists designed a drum rather like a tumbledrier for traumatizing alert, awake animals. The drum was made so that it turned over forty times a minute with the animal inside falling from one side to the other twice during each rotation. During a five minute experiment an animal inside the drum fell four hundred times. The animal's paws were taped together so that it could not break its own fall and interfere with the traumatizing process. Animals traumatized in the drum suffered broken teeth, concussion, bleeding and bruising of the liver.
Dit is wel een mooi stukje waar mijn grenzen al ver ver bereikt zijn.
