As a vegetarian for the past year and a half, Austin almost completley agrees with everything Ascher has said so far. Allow Ausitn to quote Ron White for a moment. "We did not claw our way to the top of the food chain to eat carrots," or something to that affect. Believe it or not, all your fluffy animals would kill and eat you in a second if they were in the position humans were in. But that is very much beside the point, while Austin agrees that animal testing for anything other than medication is wrong, and even wrong for medical testing once the side affects are well known, he does not believe that if you agree, you can go around forcing those beliefs or anything otherwise on people. Austin is a vegetarian because he sees humans as equals to animals, and thus should only eat them if their own life depends on it. He does not however, protest to anyone thinking otherwise.
Anyone who eats meat, has their right to, and should by all means take advantage of that right, as long as they don't go shoving pepperponis into vegetarians mouths, vegetarians/activists/hippies have no place to critisize them. And, assuming you were put under the right circustances, anyone would eat meat if they really had to. Taking from Aschers idea of a desert, if a hardcore vegan was stuck in the desert and would die by morning if he didn't eat, and the only thing around was a rabbit, the last thing he would think would be "look how fuzzy and cute that animal is." Although they may think "look how fuzzy and cute that entre is," that is beside the point.
As for testings, it is the same. Say scientists come up with what may be a better and more effective cure for cancer, but they believe the side affects may hurt a human while it is in it's first stages of development. In order to preserve the life of a human, they will test it on a rat for it's similar DNA. Now say because of this test, they know about a deadly side affect and fix it so the cure is safe for humans. You will NOT complain about the death of a rat if that cure happens to save thousands of people with cancer, will you?
That's all for now. (Austin's back in the got goth guild! =D)
