@9FL248Z2yrs2Y
Use animals that will cause less public opinion to conduct experiments, and prohibit the use of endangered animals and nationally protected animals.
@B36HNWJ2mos2MO
should do testing on criminals that have committed serious offenses like murder and are on life without parole
@B2W86PR2mos2MO
There should be strict laws relating to the humane treatment of animals for essential life saving purposes only.
Only those animals who have been bred for the purpose of scientific testing, and ensure it is done as ethically as possible.
@98N25SY2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for medical purposes such as vaccines, drug safety etc. But it should not be allowed for cosmetics. This should be allowed as long as the animals are being treated with care and not being treated as props.
@9ZNXMHS5mos5MO
Yes, as long as its banned to use any animal with even the slightest bit of circumstantial evidence of sapiance. Like most cephalopods or apes.
@9TLDMJL7mos7MO
Research a more ethical way to test these products while also maintaining the safety of humans. Maybe lab rats are fine.
@9HH82DG1yr1Y
Researchers should not be allowed to use animals for testing if the effects have been heavily predicted to cause harm or if there is another method to safely test the products.
@9F928G62yrs2Y
Yes, but not for cosmetics with great oversight to ensure the animals are treated well and kept in good health.
@9F3YN582yrs2Y
This is a difficult issue to dissect. It would be best to move away from exploiting animals in this way but we also need ways to test treatments before they go to human trials. I would be more concerned with the wellfare of the animals and their quality of life, they don’t deserve cruelty but they can offer us much needed answers.
@9RXS4P4 9mos9MO
i feel like it is cruel to test on animals but the death of a rat is “less cruel” than the death of a human for testing on humans. it’s a grey area.
Yes - not for cosmetics thought - and after they've reached a certain level of testing which shows confident results that the product would not be detrimental to the health of the animals.
it depends on if the drug makes the animal unsafe for human consumption, if it does then no, if it doesn't then its fine because the animal wasn't used just for testing
@99LTGDL2yrs2Y
So long as it is ethical and truly necessary for safety reasons.
@96JJRBT3yrs3Y
Only if we need to, to minimize suffering.
No, use pedophiles, rapists, and murderers
@966M4ZD3yrs3Y
nah animal cruelty isnt nice
@946WVFP3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as they abide by the relevant moral and safety standards.
It depends on the product - if it's harmful, then no.
@93X23323yrs3Y
Some animals are fine but there is also a certain threshold or line that should not be crossed ethically, which at that point should be substituted for other methods for testing.
@93WLR2V3yrs3Y
Yes, but aim to reduce animal testing as much as possible over time
@93WHRPR3yrs3Y
Yes, but certain categories of more intelligent beings should be off the charts
@93QZV7Z3yrs3Y
No, the animals do not deserve to tested on. We should find a different alternative that does not involve living beings that can not consent.
@93B6FPP3yrs3Y
Yes, but only rats, mice and pigeons/seagulls. Since In todays world they usually are over populated and carry disease otherwise
@92PZHT63yrs3Y
Yes, but in controlled amounts
Test on dangerous criminals already incarcerated.
@8ZT5SNW3yrs3Y
Yes, but there should be more restrictions in place for animal testing
@8ZSJL5B3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for vaccines and medications. That is the law, under Section 3 of the Nuremberg Code.
@8Z7DWC93yrs3Y
No, only for medications and vaccines.
@8Z4YJJ63yrs3Y
Yes, but only to a certain degree
@8YWC6RV3yrs3Y
Use humans. Pay them extremely well, or pay out their families well.
@8Y5YY243yrs3Y
Yes, but the animals must be provided with a high standard of quality of life while within the testing trial
@8XZYC7Y3yrs3Y
Yes, but require the labelling for products that do such
@8XQGLKC3yrs3Y
No, but you can use tyrannical politicians like Justin Trudeau
@8XJ8R6V3yrs3Y
No, just use humans like the vaccines
@8XCDZYT3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for safety of medicines and vaccines.
@8WMNMHR4yrs4Y
yes, but can hopefully find better solutions sooner than later
@8VRV6GZ4yrs4Y
Yes, but under stricter regulation.
@8VRSG7G4yrs4Y
It depends. Cruel and unusual testing should be banned
@8VRPDXS4yrs4Y
Yes, but only animals with high population and also not for cosmetics. I like the idea of using criminals for this..
@8VQHZCN4yrs4Y
@8VN3SPMConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as it is as painless as possible for the animals and serve a greater good for humanity .
@8VL9NFX4yrs4Y
Only for life-saving drugs or drugs that will greatly reduce suffering. And if a legal standard is put in place to protect the animals and retire them early into a rehab program.
@8VK6TP9New Democratic4yrs4Y
As long as no harm comes to the animal
@8VK27KS4yrs4Y
Yes but with very high ethical standards enforcement and huge penalties for offences
@8VJ3D9D4yrs4Y
Yes, only if the risk to harm the animal is low.
@8VJ2V7V4yrs4Y
Human testing on prisoners and dangerous criminals and/or volunteers
Yes but it should depend on the animal and the product.
@8V95QN24yrs4Y
Only in the safety of medicinal drugs and vaccines, not devices or cosmetics or anything else. We should continue to ratify the Nuremberg Code in Canada to prevent clinical trials being skipped over, because one of the leading causes of death is medical malpractice and failure to provide animal trials.
@8V8GV2L4yrs4Y
No, science has come far enough we shouldn’t need to test on animals. Find and advocate alternatives.
@8V7LPJX4yrs4Y
Yes but there must be a cap on the number of animals used. The testing must be clearer with smaller sample sizes. Let them produce 10 for consumption and 1 for testing. Also commuting to less toxicity in their products and to lower the number of animals tested by 10 % /yr
@8V5DH7Z4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if the animals are treated in the most ethical way possible.
@8TZ2ZC44yrs4Y
No, test on violent criminals or criminals who have committed heinous crimes instead.
@8TX57HB4yrs4Y
Yes unless other methods are effective
@8TX5JVB4yrs4Y
Yes, but not for cosmetics, and with better laws and regulations
@8TX333D4yrs4Y
No, and legislation to recognize animal personhood should be passed, banning all other forms of animal exploitation
In some cases to test for a potentially life saving drug but not ever for cosmetics please no
@8TV2YH84yrs4Y
@8TTMNZK4yrs4Y
Human volunteers only with proper incentives
@8TQ5VQC4yrs4Y
No, researchers should not be given the right to use animals for testing as there are other efficient ways to test the safety of products; via artificial experiments.
@8TNDXCT4yrs4Y
Only in medical research, i.e. vaccines and medications. Nothing else.
@8TN3MBD4yrs4Y
Only for medical testing.
For vaccines and other medical interventions and only when no other non-animal model is available but not for cosmetic uses.
yes, but only if urgent and never for cosmetics ever.
@8TFVW57New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, with a strong oversight on animal cruelty issues.
@8TF629D4yrs4Y
Yes, but Only for medications and vaccines
@8T4D86J4yrs4Y
no, but there may be no other way... and testing on other humans should be off the list also.
@8SLS73S4yrs4Y
Use rapists and abusers instead
@8SJXC3VNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Only for means of curing a deadly disease. That is it. Do not add excess stress than necessary.
@8RWBHS34yrs4Y
Only vaccines, nothing else. Anything else is pure animal cruelty
@8RS66584yrs4Y
No, use prisioners on death row instead.
@8RKH6QW4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for essential life-saving medicines, not for things like erectile disfunction or baldness medicines.
@8RHGLSL4yrs4Y
I deeply care about animal rights but can understand scientific research purposes.
@8RGGHHQ4yrs4Y
Yes, but not for cosmetics and only with strict ethical standards and oversight
@8R9WJC64yrs4Y
Yes but it depends on the animals, no apes or other intelligent beings and only if its completely necessary.
@8R7LJFS4yrs4Y
Depends on the animal and on the drug/vaccine/medical device, just not for cosmetics.
@8QFS26J4yrs4Y
Yes, but on only certain animals
@8QFDCRL4yrs4Y
It really depends on the situation
@8Q5CJW34yrs4Y
No, this should be illegal, end animal testing.
@8PXK8WV4yrs4Y
No this is cruelty to animals
@8PNM3GF4yrs4Y
Not animals with enough pain feeling / brain capacity
@8PJMGYM4yrs4Y
Depends on the animal, but this shouldn't be regulated by the government
@8P9CY8Q4yrs4Y
Animal testing should only be done for veterinarian purposes, and only if there is reasonable evidence that the drugs are safe.
@8P4P98S4yrs4Y
No, this is animal cruelty and should be a Federal offense. Punishable by 15 years in prison.
@tofutofu4yrs4Y
Yes, for absolutely necessary medical research, but their lives and sacrifice should be held with the upmost respect. Never should animals be used for cosmetics and superficial endeavours. Research should be done to find better alternatives and lessen the need for the use of live animals.
@8NMJNN2Libertarian4yrs4Y
Yes, in some cases, such as testing on rats. I don't believe we should test on mammals like Chimps, or domestic animals.
@8LVHB2K4yrs4Y
Yes, only when absolutely necessary, not for cosmetics, and under very strict ethical regulations. Humans should be able to volunteer. Additionally, we should do more research on non-harmful ways of testing. Testing on animals should be a last resort.
@8LC82RW4yrs4Y
No. Animal testing is no longer as efficient as it formerly was in 2015. Animal testing does not ensure immediate medical progress, and cosmetic testing on animals is cruel.
@8KNNZN6Conservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for animals with violent history.
@8KLHHQY4yrs4Y
No, this is animal cruelty.
@8HDGVYC5yrs5Y
No, ban this practice it is cruelty to animals.
@8DC73B25yrs5Y
No, ban this practice it is cruelty to animals and needs to be stopped right now.
@8CTYPRF5yrs5Y
Use robotic simulation technology instead
@9CLT4722yrs2Y
No they shouldn't give it to people at all.
Yes, but it should be done ethically. Oversight would be needed.
@997TKZY2yrs2Y
No because animals can react differently than humans and it could end up easily killing those animals.
@995WHT52yrs2Y
Yes, but as long as the animals are not introduced back into the wild as it may have lasting affects on the wildlife
@98NXFTH2yrs2Y
Researchers should be allowed to use animals but to a certain extent of use
