@Cambridgeport90 That's true of many aspects of medicine. The for-profit nature of our medical system is the reason you can't get cancer cures in the US that have existed for nearly a century
"@sledge071 it bothers me... so much. I get it that there are some things for which we don't have natural cures for, and I have no problem with scientific innova" — Kat M. Moss
@sledge071 True... As I said before, I don't have as much of a problem with research as I do with killing them. Evidently President Biden authorized the killing of hundreds of beagles when the dogs could still survive.
@Cambridgeport90 I know that the decision to kill all the minks in one of the Scandinavian countries was a response to the discovery that they could carry the corona virus. I wonder if the incident involving the dogs was somehow similar, in that they were contagious with something
@sledge071 still... the idea of killing something due to their condition... if they weren't suffering, that is. Just, ugh. I'm a bit of a tree hugger, if you haven't figured.
@Cambridgeport90 In the case of the minks, they were killed, because they represented a potential threat to humans. If a similar concern existed in the case you mention, the course of action would make sense. As a human, protecting humanity is something I can totally get behind
@Cambridgeport90 That opens a very complicated set of issues. If you have ever had surgery, you owe your survival of that surgery to the destructive use of animals in the training of your surgeon
