All of you who call this ‘abusive’ and ‘a horrible misuse of testing on animals’ and say ‘dont use animals, we have enough humans’…

Go volunteer yourself!!!

Stand in front of that science lab and say ‘Ill do it for the greater good to help my fellow man’.

But no, you sit at your computer and complain why and why not we should or should not be using animals as test subjects.

Sum up: Stop being lazy and go do something about it, and if you dont volunteer yourself to be in ‘the monkeys shoes’, then please stop bugging those who are doing these tests. (BTW, i am neither pro or con for use of animals in tests, although I dont like to see animals in pain, I do eat steak, mutton, and other meats, therefore my standpoint on animal abuse is neither here nor there. I am merely telling those who wish to complain to put themselves in the testing apparatus, and stop being ‘lazy protesters’)

And imagine how a 21 year old guy (my brother) who lost his left arm and his right hand (car accident) would feel to hold his niece, and I’m all for helping people have what they lost.

because the scientific advancements we often see are completely non-advancing. we make microwave guns to break up peace rallys, and those will probably be used to torture people. we make nanorobots to spy on “enemy combatants” but they can just as easily be used to spy on you. we make mood altering drugs so people can sleep better, wake up better, get on with their lives better, but we don’t promote natural forms of stress management. we make gps technology only to have chips implanted into our kids so -hopefully- someone safe can track them. but really, who is?

and now we have scientists who use monkeys to show that electronic devices can be used on brian waves alone? why didn’t we just use a human for this? if it really doesn’t harm the animal, like so many of you claim, why don’t we just use humans? there’s clearly enough of us on this planet.

but some of you then argue: why don’t you consent yourself. guess what, genius, i have the use of all my limbs. perhaps when i loose my limbs i will generously donate my body and time to getting a sweet robotic appendage. but since i don’t need one, why get one? so we then must ask, why does the monkey need one? right, she doesn’t. so perhaps she should be romping about in some jungle rather than shoved in a small plastic box with a robotic arm controlling chip in her brain.

do i eat meat? yes, i raise my own chickens and eggs. i sometimes go fishing.
do i get electricity to power my pollution machine computer? yep, i pay fifteen bucks a month extra to promote wind and solar power, rather than fossil fuels.
do i own a car? sadly yes, but i use my bike far more often than my car.

so how about those of you whining about other whiners think about how you live your life. maybe you can change to make this world a better place rather than wanting a dog who can bring you a fucking beer. get your lazy ass off the couch and get one yourself. or make a machine that will not noly chill your beer, but toss it your way.

so yes, this does have benefits. but you really should be asking yourselves, who’s funding this project? follow the money and you’ll learn more about the ethical implications of this project, and what exactly it holds for our future.

2) those of you complaining that ‘the monkey should be living in the jungle etc etc etc’… i have a few things to ask you:

do you eat beef? any meats? i hereby claim that YOU are commiting animal abuse.

also, you have a computer and access to the internet. what do you think is powering it? mostly fossil fuels. coming from where? your so called jungle is one interesting source. you are doing more harm to monkeys than was done to this monkey in this harmelss experiment.

note that i am not saying cut down the jungle and commit animal abuse, just that you are a whining short-arse and this is not animal abuse.

Unfortunately, people like you whiners do not think and tend not to listen either. Hence most of you will just skim past this explanation and learn nothing. well done.
