But then there would always be the bleeding heart liberals who would claim violation of civil rights and legalized Nazism. But what about the civil rights of the victims of crimes?
I still think vivisection should be banned everywhere, and other methods such as those above be used. I don't like looking at pictures of cut apart and dismembered live animals any more than anyone else, and in my 10 years of animal rights activism, I've seen plenty. As a footnote, years ago, I remember looking thru a particular magazine at photos of the Red Chinese and NVA cutting apart strung up captured American soldiers during the Vietnam War, it was not pretty, I had to remove those pages so I could finish reading the magazine. It still haunts me today. That's what cats amd dogs endure every day at HLS and other 'research' labs. Just my opinion.
