Re: Animal dissection in classrooms - should it be happening

You have no understanding of how to balance..how the left balances the
right. Your statements show you have no understanding of how badly
the animals were treated before PETA and the Humane society came into
focus. The two opposite extremes balance each other out. Cancer
Research would be FAR less effective if we did not have an
ethical "policing" of treatment policies. I speak from experience,
stressed out animals do not model disease well.
You are writing as a person who sees only the negative side of life.
Can't both sides be a little right? Why do you have to jump to the
opposite extreme? Take some time and think about what you are saying
before you write it.
Gun control does not equal no guns
Abortion rights does not equal abortions for everyone
Saving one tree does not mean you have to save them all
Take a deep breath before going down the slippery slope for all your
statements. No one likes to be around people who cannot see both sides
of an issue...breathe...
