i think animal testing is wrong and i never used to be a vegetarain but after research animal testing and crulety i have decided to turn one. i am only 14 but i take things like this really seriously and i think the people who carry out these test have a sick and twisted mind and i think they need to sort their life out and leave animals alone and stop making them suffer!!!!!!!!!!

I to am also only 14,and i also have strong opinions in this area, but quite a bit different from Natalie.
I'm against Cosmetic tesing as I see it as a unnessesary and unethical as it only serves our selfish consumer society. But thankfully it has been banned in the UK since 1998 and all products that use animal testing are to be banned in the EU by 2014.
However with medical testing, I believe it is acceptable if it aids the alleviation of human suffering and saving of multiple human lifes. Plus the UK has some of the tightest controls for animal welfare in laboretries in the world, and lisenses for animal testing are only given out from the home secutary when the gain for humans outweighs the loss of animal welfare.
As for meat, I think its our biology that part of out diet is meat, however if we are to eat meat we should treat the animals humanly throughout their lives and death. I think that battery farming is EVIL. The conditions that those poor animals are exposed to is wrong, and that animal rights activists should be targeting them instead of Labs, as the conditions are FAR worse and they are not a matter of life and death to some people as labs are. If we are to farm animals I belive they should all be free ranged and be able to live a happy life before their death.
