People always react more to the suffering of animals than they do of people-animals are never traitorous or hurtful, so people are more sympathetic to their plight. It gets me rather annoyed, truth be told. Regardless of how right or wrong testing on animals is, it's nothing compared to the brutality and tyranny bought on by governments on their people, often governments outright supported by our own, or at least sold weapons to by our arms companies (Saudi Arabia et al).
In short, I think we should remove the beam from our own eye, before removing the splinter from animals'.
