RE: Monkeys & Medicine: How 17th Century Pets Helped Prevent 1.5 Million Childhood Deaths
This gives me mixed feelings. I support medical research but as an animal lover I am deeply uncomfortable with animal research too even if it does help with conservation.
I think many people experience the same mixed feelings.
I think we need to find a way to help with conservation as well as alternative research methods.
Yeah I feel the same way too, but as a parent my child is more important to me than thousands of monkeys. Maybe that isn't rational, but it is how I feel. Especially knowing that over a million deaths were prevented because of the research.
