I did not know (maybe I didn't want to) the ineffable amount of suffering we subject animals in vastly useless "scientific" experiments (see Singer, Animal Liberation, Chapter 2: Tools for research).
- ethbr0 3y agoThe existence of horrific science experiments doesn't prove that most science experiments are horrific. And it's a very differently regulated landscape now vs even 30 years ago.

- zvmaz 3y agoThanks for the precious advice. I will take note of it. The descriptions and the results of the experiments cited in Singer's book come from the experimenters themselves. Published work, publicly available. Edit: I have talked about a "documentary" above, but it's not really a documentary, but video footage stolen from a lab doing experiments on baboons. The lab has been closed because of the videos. The fuss is unnecessary with you sir [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unnecessary_Fuss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unnecessary_Fuss
