I read an article on the Peta website about this rule, and I think it is a very
very bad idea. I know that I have little or no say, being a minor, but my
opinion should still count.
I understand taht we consider animal testing to be necessary in this day and
age, even though it is not. We have complex computer models and exstensive
research done on the chemicals this is proposing for more testing. Furthermore,
animals react differently to certain chemicals than us, and given even a slight
difference, any research done thus has absolutely no bearing on a human exposure
case. And as for testing these extraordinarily unlikely scenarios, couldn't we
save money, time, AND lives by foregoing these things which cannot happen in
everyday and even coincidental circumstances?
