The People's Petition

I believe that the animals tested on should still be treated well, but I also appreciate that many human lives have been saved thanks to Animal testing.

and so they would if there were an alternative. somebody propagating this line of view sounds like John Prescott who advocate getting the nation out of their cars but aren't prepared to introduce more trains and buses and make them cheaper. (I know you've never lived outside of cities, but there are some areas that only get two bus services a day.)

And this is asking for the impossible. Animals are used for research ONLY when there is no alternative. If there was a working alternative developed without animal testing, no one would bother to come up with yet another cancer treatment developed using (expensive, time consuming and heavily red-taped) animal testing.
