There has never been one scientific discovery or medical advancement derived from the practice of vivisection (animal experimentation).
That statement should be able to stand alone without anything other than a little deductive reasoning on the part of any reasonably intelligent individual.
First, one would have to be able to grasp the concept that an animals physiology greatly differs from that of a human's. This would negate any supposed results of any tests done on animals.
Secondly, one would have to ask himself why the medicines that are manufactured are so dangerous, and cause so many deadly side-effects. If vivisection were the answer, this would not be the case in so many instances.
Animal experimentation is supposed to prevent humans from having to suffer. Yet suffer they do.
Thirdly, there is the compassionate aspect of the case against vivisection (which is first in my book). How can we as intelligent, thoughtful beings capable of abstract thought, contribute to the suffering of others under the ruse of "better life through cruelty?" If the medical and pharmaceutical industries really had the best interest of the patient at heart, they would treat them with botanically based medicines (as was originally intended) instead of those composed of poisonous chemicals concocted in a laboratory. Once this is achieved, these medicines can be tested on the ones that were originally intended to benefit from them, people. (The Mad Vegan!)
