It's one that's brought on, no doubt, by the acts of vandalism and intimidation of radical animal-rights groups, but I think it also serves to insulate the research community from any responsibility it might otherwise have to increase transparency and public engagement with the work.

Save the Planet: Adopting a shelter pet not only saves a life, but it reduces demand for purebred animals, which are more likely to have medical problems due to genetic abnormalities. The Shift: Buy flea and tick medicine and any other pet medications online and in bulk instead of buying them one month at a time from your vet.

For Engber, who dispassionately describes procedures most of the time, the "advances" in the medical care of humans are all well worth what he and other vivisectionists do to dogs and other sentient nonhumans. Medical schools, in particular, made ample use of them for education and research in surgery and cardiology." And for what?

It was because of her that her husband could get medical care when he fell ill. But it's the same concept that underlies both situations: viewing others as commodities that you have a right to exploit. The central message of the program was not about enslaving animals, of course. Our job, it seems to me, is to help them see it.
