Animal Testing Is Not Valid

Purrr Dem Purrime Ministerettes of Planet Purrth, Shiva and Jaya, did answer questions on da bloggy "Kyra & Question Time"!

I had an answer to one of da questions. I quotes da question and da Purrime Ministerettes answer:

Q: Hullo Shiva and Jaya …maybe you can choose another question of me for question time? Why humans are testing things on animals which are never for animals – only for humans ;o)
A: Some hoomans, not all of them, are catwards. They don’t have the nerve to undergo pain themselves and believe that we anipals are unable to feel anyting, either physical or emotional. Somebody dumped us in a glass bin when we were newborn kittens. Who do some hoomans think they are? Do onto others as you would have them do to you!
Jaya, I so agree with that Jesus Cat! Yeah, has that glass bin dumper already been dumped in a glass bin?!

Here are just three ways dat animals not react da same as hoomans. Hopes you like logic cuz da lady using it to thwock da unethical methodologies.

Dogs and cats don’t get poison ivy. Da active ingredient, urushiol, is highly allergenic to most hoomans. Non-primate species can roll in poison ivy. Den rubs it on da hoomans when we snuggles. MOL!!!
Applying a product to animals' skin is not a valid test.

Many years ago da lady read in a mycology book dat in da old days when dogs was livestock, hoomans used to test wild mushrooms on demz before eating. SOMETIMES da dog was fine but the hoomans died. Other times it took 12 hours or more for the symptoms to show and everybody got sick! However, I not finds anything about it online. I did finds out dat some mushrooms are poisonous to dogs but not cats.
Trying a food on animals is not a valid test.

In 2006, Six clinical drug trial participants suffered violent reactions to TGN1412, a new immune system boosting drug. The subjects were only given the equivalent of 1/500th the safe dose for "non-human primates," monkeys. The test subjects suffered searing pain and multiple organ failure within a few hours. The drug had been tested successfully in non-human primates, macaques.
Giving a drug to animals is not a valid test.

Hope you didn't want pixchurs. Dis not a snuff porn bloggy.

Lots of drugs don't make it through the animal trials, and who knows whether the drug companies have thrown away da Magic Bullet cuz it didn't work on animals? So when da animal trials and hooman trials happen to give da same results, it kinda random.

Iz not da sharpest tool in da shed. I cantz make sense of it.

Why do they keep doing it?

To Mohnton, PA: TNR, don't kill!

Ask the Borough of Mohnton, PA to TNR feral cats, NOT kill them!

 The Borough of Mohnton, PA has decided to murder its feral cat population rather than use more humane, less expensive options.  Please click the link above to sign a petition on The Petition Site.  A nice letter helps.  No cursing them out or wishing heartsticks on them as that only makes them dig their heels in.  Remember Belfast's reaction to death threats.

This is my letter.  Be sure to mention the TNR option and prices if you want details.

I see that someone in your organization has an unreasoning fear of cats that caused him or her to push the rest of you into signing an order to trap and kill all ferals.

Rather than take advantage of public and private funds available for inexpensive Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) programs, you plan to have bungling minimum wage people kill the cats at great expense to the borough. 

"No Nonsense Neutering www.nnnlv.org received a $35,000 grant for Berks County free-roaming cats. Fairchild Foundation asks for a $35 donation PER cat, which is still less expensive than the $50 that the Berks County in PA is paying to KILL ferals."

It is simply wrong for you to exterminate feral cats as if they were cockroaches, not when there are other, less expensive options available.

Please reconsider.

You steps out of your car into a hot parking lot. In da car next to yours is a big happy goggie. 'Cept he lookin really sad cuz it ~~hot~~ in dat car. What do you do?

Hoomans, we has to tell you every year. Please don't leave pets or children in the car on a summer day. "But I cracked the window," you say. IT NOT GOOD ENOUGH. "But I was only in the store for a few minutes," you say. IT NOT GOOD ENOUGH. "But I parked in the shade," you say. NOT EFFING GOOD ENOUGH!!

Purrr Here some information for pet staff and parents of hooman children.

AVMA tips on helping pets survive a heat wave

“Signs of heat stroke include hard panting, staggering gate, rapid heartbeat, listlessness, restlessness, dark red or purple gums and tongue, and vomiting. If you suspect your pet has heat stroke, put a cold towel around their neck, get them into an air conditioned car and get them to the veterinarian as quickly as possible.”


Heatstroke | In and Around The Car | Keeping Kids Safe | Parents Central
"Even cool temperatures in the 60s can cause the temperature to rise well above 110° Fahrenheit inside your car. The inside temperature can rise almost 20 degrees within the first 10 minutes."

Rear-facing Car Seats May Increase Risk of Hot Car Death
"According to the Free Press, a 1990s campaign to get more kids in rear-facing seats was accompanied by a spike in hot car deaths."

Norty Cougar CathyKeisha

PetCo do have some absolutely hideous things they call training collars. Dem collars are made of chain wif spikes on da inside to poke the doggy's neck when the leash is pulled. Dey haz 14" training collars that must be for controlling vicious toy poodles. Or Bad Cats.

kittehboi:

14" training collar. Is this for cats?

@CathyKeisha:

OK, who's into S&M here? Kittehboi?

Norty Norty!

As if dat wuzn't norty enough, when I told her she won she said, "@kittehboi Whoa! Score! *cracks her CAT-o-nine tails* Thanx Breeze." NORTY NORTY!!


I have to comment here dat da only reason for a collar like dis is to make a doggy mean. By offering this collar PetCo is implicitly condoning dog fighting.

I think maybe PETA has gone starkers. I am an obligate carnivore and sea kittens... errrr... fish are one of my favorite meals.

ASPCA Speaks Out Against Michael Vick

ASPCA Blog | Ed Sayres: The Road Ahead for Michael Vick

After careful consideration, we have decided to speak out now about Michael Vick because of the special circumstances involving the ASPCA. Several months ago, Mr. Vick's PR representatives approached the ASPCA to help educate America about the heinous act of dog fighting following his release from prison. We were the first animal welfare organization given the opportunity to work with Mr. Vick but immediately turned him down due to the unique knowledge we had of his indescribable and barbaric acts of animal cruelty where he and his associates savagely electrocuted and beat dogs to death after they lost their brutal fights.

A big thumbs up to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) for daring to speak out against Michael Vick.

On the other hand, the Humane Society is taking money from the Vick public relations machine and in return are telling the world that 18 months in prison taught him to love animals.
