You and I almost entirely agree. Although, honestly, I would rescue my cat over some random human any day of the week. The only reason not to would be the social ramifications of picking a cat over a human.

They’re not too different!

Your perspective is really interesting. I don’t like “sacrificing” either, because it’s a euphemism that implies that they voluntarily gave their lives, which they didn’t. It seems like a way of convincing oneself that certain actions are justified. This is coming from someone who has rescued a mouse (and a sparrow…

Ironically, part of changing attitudes on animal research, especially involving non-human primates, has a lot to do with animal research (on behalf of animals) revealing how complex animals really are. A lot of the stuff that we thought made us different and special has been observed in other species. Like you said,…

I’m with ya. I don’t see how boner pills are worthy of any kind of animal testing. I am also impartial though. I’ve always had animals in my life and all of them have had different personalities. I’ve owned several rats and they were all very smart and affectionate. I see them as genetically unique creatures whose…

How is using dogs any worse than using pigs? Pigs are smart as hell. I don’t think either species should be used as test subjects, but I don’t see why the distinction between dogs and pigs other than a cultural one. Culture is one of the lamest excuses people make.

They usually end up as research subjects when they’re no longer useful for entertainment. It’s heartbreaking.

You’re insulting chimps by implying they’re Trump supporters.

It’s inherently inhumane. Period. I’m sure if you asked Coco the gorilla if it’s okay to test on non-human primates and kitties, she’d disagree with you.

Those things are creepy as hell. It feels like someone had been sitting on the toilet for an hour before you sat down.

I think it’s fair to say that human civilization would continue just fine without men, but losing toilets would be a serious problem.

Seriously. Isn’t every day men’s day? I guess it’s fitting that it falls on the same day as toilet day.

And is any woman a perfect incubator? Who gets to decide? Shit, am I gonna get a ticket for eating ice cream for dinner?

Yes, but she and those bigots are united in their hatred of gay people. That’s powerful. Someone like her would rather be hated by her party than vote for anything that might elevate a gay person to human level.

I bet the two of them would be good friends.

I fully support Maher shitting on Islam and all other religions for that matter. Most liberals disagree with him on Islam though and I think it’s because they’re not aware of how backasswards mainstream Islam can be. If you removed the religious minority part, then liberals would be infuriated at the culture and…

Just an FYI that this woman says she is “pro-life, pro-traditional family, pro-business, pro-trade.” So fuck her and her American flag hijab.

The wonder woman one is actually kind of sad.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that the Republican Muslim Coalition isn’t too gay friendly.

Totally. It’s so obvious. All I can think it that he doesn’t have enough mass appeal (probably a racial thing) or star power to satisfy your average boring white American PEOPLE reader.
