I almost quit a book club a year ago because one of the members is a proponent of medical research. She is a data tech for a clinical testing company (for profit by the way.) I posted on this blog about quitting because of the New Iberia scandal in Louisiana in which the Humane Society found primates being abused.

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. She said that there were guidelines on how to treat animals and that, in medical ethics, they are considered "sacrifices."

I've decided to quit my book club, which I dearly love, because of a member who works in medical research and supports animal experimentation. This is a link to a recent scandal at a primate center in Louisiana. This has been a very difficult decision for me, because I have such good friends in the group. She supports this.
