What do you think about companies doing animal studies?

[Edwina's Secretary]

This FDA some have mentioned, would that be the same agency that
missed the toxic toys, dog food, failed childrens cribs, etc, etc.?

No Liz, it isn't the same agency. The FDA is the Food and Drug Administration. The agency you refer to is the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

VERY different agencies.

This is a very sad subject indeed. Do I believe in animal testing? Depends. If a young Dr is practicing open heart surgery, I think most people would want him to practice on 500 dogs instead of 500 infants. If a new medicine is being tested for kidney disease do we want it tested on our children or husband or a monkey? What I would really like to see is that these instances are done on death row inmates or people who are lifers. I value an animals life above theirs. But that is me. I don't think there is ANY good answer.
