Vivisection is wrong. Testing on animals is no help to humans as animals have a different genetic make-up than humans. Please sign this petition.   http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/451592256   Animal testing does not guarantee the saftey of humans. Although vivisection literally means 'to cut up alive', the term has come to include all experiments involving animals, and not just those involving dissection. Call it what you will, animal experiments are always cruel, causing psychological and/or physical suffering to all of its victims. Vivisection cannot be justified neither ethically nor scientifically. Obviously, if humans were to be subjected to vivisection, the amount of pain they would feel would certainly not depend on their communication skills nor on their ability to solve differential equations - suffering is the same for geniuses and dunces. Likewise, non-human animals suffer in the same ways and to the same degree as humans. Those who provoke the suffering are criminals - whether their justification is that they are helping humanity or helping their own careers!
Also, did you know that some of the money you have to pay legally goes towards vivisection. So, please, sign this petition to stop all of this animal cruelty.
