Join Alkaline Trio, Against me!, and Silverstein in....

signing a petition regarding experimentation on primates. Save #99, peta's new campaign, is trying to urge the government to end experimentation on primates.
"They’re identified by the last two digits of their I.D. numbers, tattooed across their chests. #99 was one of hundreds of monkeys who were taken from their homes in the wild and dosed with an experimental substance in a laboratory in Vienna, Virginia. He was the smallest and sickliest in the experiment—pale, emaciated, bald. Constantly hunched in the back of his cage, #99 was laughed at, called names, and refused treatment. Every day, he endured the same beatings, abuse, and experiments as all the others.
It’s too late for #99, but you can follow the lead of Alkaline Trio, Against Me!, and Silverstein and sign a petition to help other monkeys like him."

Check out the petition @:

PETA and petition in the same sentence is enough to know that I want no part in this.

at number 99

The purpose of animal testing isn't to ensure medicines aren't going to kill babies; no, it's to degrade animals by making fun of them.

Do PETA understand basic economics? Do they realise just how valuable (in money, not medical contribution) the test data gained from these animals is? Animal testers don't want the animals dying mid-experiment from malnourishment or they'd ruin data that, if the experiment goes well, could lead to hundreds of millions of pounds.

PETA members don't use any products tested on animals i'm sure

Still though i agree that they should be kept humanely, but the fact they think animal testing is a means to simply abuse animals is, well, laughable...

Animals for testing are usually kept in good conditions. As I said before, if the test subjects were dying of malnourishment and disease they would completely ruin the data collected. Most animals for vivisection are kept better than livestock.

PETA realizes the PAIN, CREULTY, and SUFFERING the animals have to endure. they don't care about stupid "data" gained from torture, they care about the LIVES that were lost due to it.

Moron.

Absolute moron.

The animals are usually in good conditions, otherwise the vivisectors would lose massive amounts of money.

Do you have a pet? Have you ever taken it to the vet? That's right. Every bloody goddam animal ever taken to a vet is saved by the accumulated knowledge and medical expertise acquired from testing on a much lesser number.

Vivisection SAVES the lives of even more animals.

Any group, but the deeply hypocritical PETA. They have been responisble for the murder of some animals they save. They encourage violence and hire crack arsonists. For more info, look on wikipiedia's page on the group. Be prepared for the truth the group never tells the public. You can also see the groups hypocricy by typing in PETA+hypocrites or anything similar into google. They are truly a group of lying bastards.
