Ok, so I know this is a bit wierd, but I was listening to Rush today (he was on and I didnt feel well enough to reach over and change teh station) And a woman came on asking about AFL, a group of animal rights activists that break into labs and set teh animals go and burn down teh labs, and if she should join them because she though they were cool for doing that. Well, there was a big discussion about it and I wanna know your opinions.
Should there be chemical testing on animals? What about medical testing?
Should people be allowwed to hunt for food? What about for fun, or trophy?
Should we eat meat at all? What about plants, now that its been discovered that they can feel pain as well?
Rush wasnt on today and so he had a sub. teh sub asked teh woman teh last question and her responce was "I guess I go hungry alot."
....
Yeah. Anyway, whats your thoughts?
Edit:
OOps! I choose meat and hunting are cool, but labs suck. Theres a catch to that though. Medical testing is ok, but not chemical (as in perfumes, makeup, hair products, ect)

Well, I voted for no labs, cuz I don't really like teh idea, but you hafta look at teh flip side of teh coin. You don't wanna use animals for drug/consumable testing, that's fine. What do you propose we use? Geriatrics? Babies? Paper cut-outs? Are we gonna have people volunteer? Or do we just start up teh Human-testing Draft?

It's teh ALF (Animal Liberation Front) dear. teh AFL was teh American Football League which later merged with teh NFL and became teh AFC. Yeah, I went with hunting and eating is ok, but no labs. Except for maybe medical stuff (but only in a helping way) like this.

Animals..much like ourselves are, are simply this....Meat on teh food chain. Personally, I think there is a lot of wasted meat on this planet that could easily be used for lab testing!
For Example: Liz Taylor Michael Jackson (already a lab experiment) All teh members of Blink 182 (and their Fans) teh Jackass that cut me off teh other day! Dog's that are smaller than house cats! Paris Hilton and Nichole Richie All teh Ass Hats on teh ASMB that ruined that message board!
I'm not into hunting for sport, but I'm not against it.
As far as I'm concerned. Nobody, and Nothing has "rights"! You have Life! If that's not enough, kill yourself!

I had quite a lot to say on this topic (good one, Nasty-san)... I chose none of teh alternatives listed, because none of them accurately represent my position. Because my response was um, pretty long, I'm linking to it so it doesn't just take up half a page of this thread. Feel free to respond here or there. =)

teh ALF and ELF have both been considered to be terrorist threats for a long time, and in fact, together, they are considered to be teh largest domestic terrorist threat by teh FBI. I was trying to find one of teh sites that show teh many ties PETA has to them and other violent organizations, when I came across this. It's funny to hear complaints about teh Patriot Act from a group that should be legitimately targeted.
