When "testing", why experiment on animals, when there are so many lawyers ?

Question

(smile :)

Answer 1

You hit a nerve on that one, every answer so far has been the "we have to stop animal testing" there are other ways, would they be the first to sue if a product caused a problem?

But to answer the question, you could not get a reliable answer/result from most lawyers and most likely be sued.

Answer 2

or so many criminals... :)

Answer 3

There are way more humane alternitives now, but companies are ignorant to these. A few alternitives are listed here: http://www.allforanimals.com/alternative...

Companies are also very ignorant toward our very friendly lawyers. :)

Answer 4

Good one.

Testing isn't necessary to the degree that it is used today.  There are national and international research and policy efforts to develop alternatives to animal testing. The efforts focus on both in vitro and in silico approaches and methods.

A couple of sites here for more info if you want it.  And I will pass this on to my cuz, being a lawyer he kind of has a collection of jokes going.

Answer 5

Because we want to know the effect of what we are testing on human beings and rats are more closely related.

Answer 6

Right now, animal testing is a necessary evil.     There's no way to create artificial life to experiment on in order to produce useful results.  

And don't forget, lawyers are people too, you know...lol.

Answer 7

Because lawyers have rights too

Could you imagine all Lawyer rights Activists marching up and down throwing litigation at companies experimenting on lawyers.

Anyway you don't need to. Pay them enough and they will say the experiment worked fine (allegedly). ;)
