Many of us aren't sure what to say when someone says "If your mum had cancer would you still want to save a rat?" or similar. We have felt a dilemma, having believed that this choice exists. While we know that we don't have a right to harm the animal for any reason, believing that this choice (save animals OR humans) exists renders us unable to answer in a way which would encourage the questioner to be opposed to vivisection. Simply, if humans believe that this choice exists 99% will choose to save the human. Calling them "speciesist" or similar does nothing to help animals.

The good news, as many of you now know, is that this choice doesn't exist. Animal experiments do not help humans and in fact delay and prevent medical benefits to humans, delay warnings on harmful products and are a legal, not a scientific device.
