Because animal torture is considered unethical. If you don't agree that's fine. Let us at least agree the line is needed. We shouldn't be discussing this retroactively.
- khazhoux 8y agoPlease don't represent your debate opponents here as supporting "animal torture" -- that's horrible. In this article there was no brain function at all. As research progresses, it may be possible to establish brain activity without any pain sensation. One can debate whether being suddenly blind, deaf, and paralyzed rises to the level of animal abuse. And then, whether this is nonetheless worth the research benefits.
- badrabbit 8y agoThat's exactly my point,is there a law that defines what constitutes enough brain functionality to classify this as torture. This isn't about you or anyone else supporting animal torture,don't imply my saying things I did not. This is about clearly defining what constitutes animal torture and unethical practices are and implementing most severe of consequences for those who cross it. The debate is need for a clearly defined line and consequences,not where it should be drawn.
