Wild about Harry?

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

When the Harry Potter mania hit a while ago I made sure I did not get caught up in the madness frenzy. When I read fiction it is mainly sci/fi/fantasy. I came up with every excuse not to read the books. Last year I did the unthinkable …sighs I watched The Sorcerer’s Stone! Of course that was a very bad move. I eagerly watched Harry Potter the Chamber of Secrets courtesy of the On Demand feature supplied by my local cable company, Comcast. I impatiently waited for The Prince Of Azkuban to be released on Comcast cables on Demand feature. The Prince of Azkuban has been my favorite.

More Arguments Against Vivisection

I have included more arguments I found against vivisection located at the Animal Friends Croatia website.

The ethical argument against vivisection
There exists a fundamental principle that the only limit to a person’s rights should be the where the rights of another are infringed - most critically, when a person’s life, health or freedom from captivity is at risk. From our own experiences, we know that these things are priceless to us; we are familiar with the fear the arises from any of them being threatened.Slavery, murder, and rape are considered among the worst crimes imaginable; execution and life imprisonment are the two harshest sentences that U.S. courts have the power to hand down. We prohibit people from hurting, killing, or enslaving other humans because we recognize that the innate urge we have to retain our health and freedom exists not just in ourselves, but in all humans; when these urges are severely violated, we suffer. We strive to build a society in which individuals are not subjected to these crimes.


Animal testing who does it help?

One source of annoyance for me is how some individuals will blindly accept vivisection (animal testing) without questioning its effectiveness! I found an article that lists 33 facts. You will find the references at the end.
