Animal testing is exploitative and largely ineffective
Specism is based on several flawed assumptions.<p>We decide humans are superior to other animals because we are humans, and us&gt;them.<p>We also decide that because we are superior, we have all rights to do anything to members of &quot;inferior&quot; groups.<p>But:<p>- Superiority is at least debatable and strongly depends on the criteria used fot comparison;<p>- There is absolutely no discernable logical link between being &quot;superior&quot; and having a right to do anything to the &quot;inferior&quot; beings. (For example, a human adult is &quot;superior&quot; to a human infant; but it doesn&#x27;t give them the right to torture it.)<p>We torture animals because we can, and because we don&#x27;t think about it. But it won&#x27;t last, because the more we think about it, the less acceptable it becomes.
