Animal Curelty


            If your dog were dying, do you think that it would be possible to find a cure by .
             experimenting on a healthy human? Of coarse not! Yet, we, the public have been led to .
             believe that vivisection, more commonly known as animal testing and dissection, is .
             responsible for "mericle cures" and "medical breakthroughs." Actually vivisection has .
             not cured a single human. The reason is simple, animal experimentation cannot produce .

             I don't think anyone in their right mind would. "Similar" in the scientific community has .
             no meaning. .
             Although people think that vivisection comes up with cures, disease incidence is .
             actually increasing. An example is that since 1971 when President Nixon declared "the .
             war on cancer" the rate of cancer incidences as of September 1994 went up 18%, and the .
             rate of cancer deaths has gone up 7% relative to population growth. Another surprising .
