Therefore I can't justify killing tousands of animals for human life (as well as I never could justify the other way around, i.e.:killing humans for saving animals).
I've to say that a research on animals that treats them well, I would not condamn as much, but it never seems to be the case (maybe because it's impossible??)

I'm in favour of research on animals. We can't think it's more right to try out new drugs and treatments on humans - if we thought that would be a better alternative, then I wonder how much we really wish to improve people's lives.

P.S.: in case i wasn't clear,this discussion is not about using medicaments which were found that way, but about looking for new ones that way!

But of course not. Apparently these drugs and treatments are useful.
