While I'm not a fan of using animal hearts for transplants, I'm far more sympathetic to that than to simply using their parts for human vanity consumption. Despite that, a Quebec-based seal fur company has begun championing Pibarot's hypothesis, seeing the research as a buoy for Canada's beleaguered seal harvest.

I don't support animal research and I have no sympathy for animal researchers. I don't believe they are working for human welfare.

In a brief tour of a particular biotech research company, I was taken to the animal lab. This adorable poster that draws you in to the sweet faces of these animals basically proclaims that it is a good thing to use their bodies for medical research, which almost always leads to pain and death. It was a jarring moment.

There is one member of this group who works for a pharmaceutical company. She supports medical research on animals. This woman, who I now mentally call "THE VIVISECTOR," defended medical research. The descriptions of the research subjects are very roundabout, but still horrific to me. Which surprised me.
