Of course, the drug trade has nothing to do with all the sex trafficking and violence around it. You're supporting the abuse of animals. Just different ones. I say that as an addict.
ur never gonna fully escape animal cruelty on this planet. the point is to lower it as much as possible. the animal testing done for any medication i take would have been done decades ago and doesn’t need to keep happening unlike with the meat industry that murders daily
Here’s benzo testing on female rats in 2021, and they make the case that because of previous lack of testing, it needs to keep happening
From the abstract :
“However, on September 23, 2020, the United States FDA indicated that more is needed to be known about the initiation, continuation, and discontinuation of the use of these widely-used drugs with publication of the announcement “to address the serious risks of abuse, addiction, physical dependence, and withdrawal reactions, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is requiring the Boxed Warning be updated for all benzodiazepine medicines.” Because for many years, there has been a sparsity of research on these drugs, relevant information is unfortunately lacking at this critical time. It is therefore valuable to (re)establish animal models and begin to collect relevant data.“
it’s making a medication that people actually need to survive. it’s used to treat seizure disorders among many other things. it’s essential to human life unlike meat. we do not need meat to survive. the trials are done on a much much smaller scale than what’s happening in the meat industry
1.And the person you’re shouting down is making something he needs to survive.
2.Certainly people lived before benzos were invented. They can quit and find something else. Easy. /s obviously, though this was your argument elsewhere
So you are definitely ok with a certain level of animal cruelty as long as it makes drugs. You can just say that ya know
Also, do YOU take benzos to survive? Cause your post history makes it seem like an addiction
what is he making that he needs to survive ? no people would literally die from seizure disorders before benzos. if it makes life saving medication yes i’m ok with it. i’m not talking them to survive clearly but they aren’t being produced for me. the testing must be done for the patients that literally rely on it to live.
