Also even thought u give them a lot dont u think u should have just let them go so that they can get what they relly want? SO tell me this is u have a family for say 2 chidren and a beautiful wife, and u got abbductied. When u got to the place that the kidnappers took u to, it was beautiful almost like a 5 star hotel. They gave u everything...Would u chose that over ur family, u see what im saying the rats dont want luxery they want FREEDOM!

I worked with rats for a few semesters in a behavioral neuroscience lab doing drug testing, and I want to point out what I noticed.

 

I am willing to bet that those animals suffered less than the luckiest of rats living in the wild. We worked very closely with the animal welfare people, and the total comfort of the animals was ensured every step of the way. They were put down peacefully with gas so we could get to thier brains afterwards (and you just can't do that with humans). They generally had access to food, drink, and sex at a level unprecedented for wild rats. [What else do rats want, anyway?] We even managed to argue with each other a bit over which type of bedding was most comfortable for transport and such. There was some level of necessary suffering (like recieving injections), but I've seen humans put through far worse in experiments and walk away content.

 

Just my own personal experience... I wonder where all this "terrible suffering" supposedly is in animal testing.

So ur saying that useing drugs on the rats in the lab is alright! That is so not right what if u where a rat and u got drugs put into ur body!Dont think that u would like that to much! I know that rats arent doing much for our world but still they are a part of it!
