      Because I care about me more than any other animal.

      If someone tried to kill you, would you just let them or not?

      Any sane answer says you value you more than someone else.

      Its crazy you find this opinion applied to animals to be offensive.

          Yup, that sounds crazy AF.

          Its a wonder you think you’ll convert anyone just by sounding batshit insane.

          I’m human. You think I would think my own species matters less than a different one? No other species thinks differently, why would we feel any different, especially given our massively different capabilities thought wise?

              I know I won’t change anyone’s mind.

              So why are you spouting off about it? To what end?

              What other species kills at the level humans do? The shear fact you mention our capabilities proves my point; we do horrible things when we have the capability to choose not to.

              This could apply for so many things, but not testing for medical purposes. Thats you being irrationally idealistic past the point of stupidity.

      Your philosophy is antithetical to existence.

      Being alive kills other things, nature is competition. From bacteria and viruses in your body constantly being killed, to animals in the food supply (even veggies and croplands have pest control), just living in a safe community relies on the killing of other life: removing dangerous animals from the community, keeping pests out of food stores, keeping the water clean (kills water based life)

      The phone you are using is at the end of a very complicated supply chain that mines resources from the earth, which requires killing animals… Moving resources across the earth, which requires killing animals (fish hit by boats, animals run over by cars, birds hit by trucks, pest control in all the production and storage facilities), etc.
