German Lab investigated for cruelty to its lab animals

[Catherine]

Quote:The sort of people who choose to do such work is bound to include some who enjoy giving pain. This is appalling and I can only hope that the adverse publicity will stop this lab from conducting such cruel and unnecessary experiments.

You are right about the type of people who would take such jobs in the first place. They would have to lack empathy for the animals they work with.

I think any kind of publicity is helpful if it makes the public aware of what goes on in labs. If the truth makes people uncomfortable it might influence their choices. Many of us choose to avoid products that were tested on animals. The more people know the truth, the more likely they are to make the same choices. Companies become aware of trends like that and respond to them.

If some companies can produce products that are not tested on animals why can't all companies produce products that are not tested on animals.
