But i could this justify eating animals or not?

i dont think she meant that eating cows was the point, i think its more on the treatment of these animals before they get killed.. but still.. it has nothing to do with the food chain.. just being used

bugs are evil! lol In all seriousness, I agree. If it was to cure some sort of disease or something then I ok, but not just for kids to do it. I am with you, virtual disection would be a better alternative.

I think that it is just wrong to kill an animal even if it's a rat....

I believe that is right to breed them because alot of what we know about the effects of chemicals in the industrial sector are only possible because of testing on lab animals. If you are ever in the chemical or materials or engineering industry, you will notice on every chemical that comes with a Materials Safety Data Sheet, it has toxicollagy information which tells you the effects that this chemical can have. So I would rather know that benzene is a cancer causing agent by subjecting a rat to benzene than not knowing and doing something stupid and find out the hard way. Think about all of the engineers and chemists who put their lives on the line everyday, handling toxic and very reactive chemicals just so that you as a normal consumer can enjoy the benefits of today's technology. That is for testing and killing

As for dissection, well we wouldn't know really anything about any animal if we didn't dissect it; nor would we know all that we know about nature without dissecting it; just like med students use cadavers in order to study human anatomy.

In order to understand something you must first know it inside and out.
