The Sadness

Lately I have been thinking a lot about transferring to the University of Utah for school next year. 

Many of my friends go there, and i would love to live in SLC. for awhile at least. It is real close to my family and still far enough away. Hawaii is real far away. maybe too far. 

But tonight i came across THIS. And now im rethinking my options heavily. 

Animal testing is so cruel. I do not fully understand it either. Animals are not humans, they are going to react to experiments much differently then a human would. So why would we test human experiments on them. 

If it is not humane to experiment on on real life humans, why is it humane to experiment on real life animals? 

I think it is more humane to experiment on humans. People can volunteer themselves for experiments. Animals on the other hand have no way of speaking up for themselves. 

And why do we need all these new kinds of products.. i think the shampoos and hair sprays that we have now are just fine. 

In a way i can see experimenting on mice. but not really. mice are not men. but i can in no way see how anyone would think it okay to experiment on a cat or a dog. This makes me so sad. Cats and dogs are the greatest animals to ever live. Maybe better then humans in my mind. 

I am a volunteer at PETA, and last week they sent me some flyers in the mail called 'GIVE TURKEYS A REASON TO GIVE THANKS.' they also wrote me a little letter asking me to hand these out to people around my school. i have handed out about a dozen. and two people so far have come to me and told me they are going to try vegetarianism out. It makes me so happy to know that i am helping, and having an influence on people.
