Lol… as someone who has pet rats they don’t even portray pet rat care properly- poor Sunshine’s in a really abusive setup. Tiny tank? Wire wheel? Setting up that rat to break her feet and get respiratory infections from the lack of ventilation in glass cages, not to mention the lack of any friends- rats are social animals and quite literally have to be kept in pairs or groups or else it’ll severely impact their health.
I noticed that to it looks like they got everything from a pet store and got the ones for The rats and they got this bad cage And it's super duper tiny And there's no friends for the rats but rats are very very social
@@theharvinator what do you expect they just kill all the animals they get and this stuff is propaganda they spread to distract the public from the truth i doubt they actually care about animals
I love how peta thinks that putting animal abuse in games as “gifts” is acceptable. It’s like a psa about drugs on the street and then it switches to the funky town video.
That’s such a good comparison. If you’re _too_ graphic then the kids aren’t even going to remember the lessons, they’re just going to be traumatised! Scaring someone away from a topic isn’t the same thing as teaching them WHY it’s bad.
So wait, Sam says that Sunny escaped from a college that was experimenting on animals? How would he know that? All he knows is that his dad found a rat. Sounds like Sam is lying for attention.
A high percentage of the time a person that knew what to look for could easily tell if it was a lab animal... there also the obvious that he could have been involved in the experiments and/or the removal of the animal from the experimenters group.
@@azjz5243 maybe they are trying to make kids think that animals have to go all of the things in the comic about abuse and so they become vegan?? im very confused what is PETA is even trying to do here
PETA presents animal cruelty as if it occurs because many people get a thrill out of torturing animals just for the sake of it. That doesn't lead to fighting cruelty effectively, because lack of information means attention isn't being focused on changing the actual circumstances that cause it. While there's a place for spurring people to action, shock value stuff like this is just going to lead to people flailing and outraged but not helping.
Also, saying "oh anyone who hurts animals is doing it because they're evil" makes people less likely to recognize animal abuse. Like, people will think "well, maybe I don't treat my pets as good as I should, but I still care about them so this can't be animal abuse"
Reminds me of something my English teacher taught me when we were covering the subject of debates and how to persuade people: you don’t want to call them a hollow insult like racist, abuser, homophobe, etc. you want to find the middle ground that both you and your opposer have and use that against them, essentially making them think you agree with them before pulling the rug under them. I feel like PETA would be a lot more effective if it used the latter method.
Yeah, i mean, the abusers are portrayed as being a generic antagonist kids probably see every sunday on a cartoon channel. There's also little reasoning provided, it's depicted as said generic antagonist hurting animals because they just can. Sooooo in other terms, a very muddied unhelpful message that just sells the cartoon bad-guy narrative instead of saying any reason testing goes on, so kids will probably just watch the problem on instead of acting on the problem And my comment isn't in support of animal testing, peta's message is just so muddied and diluted. Maybe my reasoning sounds weird, but that's what i thought. Also this is referring mostly to the first comic
Because PETA either doesn't actually care about the real problems and causes of animal abuse, or they are literal 12 year old thinking animal abusers are just superhero comic villains
7:15 as someone who owns chickens and has hatched chickens the emotions of this chicken are highly inaccurate. The chicks when hatched dont wonder where mom is because if they were they would make a high pitched chirping noise repedetly to find her. But they never do unless they are the first to hatch in which case once another hatches they stop. In classrooms they do rotate the eggs and they dont leave the light shut off after school, it stays on. Baby chicks are meant to be handled by people when young so that they get acclimated to human presence. If you handle them enough they will enjoy your company.
My family handles them from day 3 (we get them from a feed store) and they love us. About the chirping thing: you can tell whether the chirps are just peeping or if they are scaredy/cold/hot. I like how they say they will “probably” be killed. No, they’ll be sent to a feed store to be bought by someone.
Not to mention that hens aren’t always super diligent mothers, especially not if she’s inexperienced. Using an incubator is _necessary_ sometimes if the hen won’t take care of her eggs.
The anti egg hatching projects is so bizarre to me because I’ve literally never seen a modern school do the project without an incubator that rotates eggs for them. As someone who keeps pet chickens, hatching in an incubator is literally a necessity at times due to hens not being broody enough to care for their eggs, the hens eating the eggs, or deciding that some of the chicks they’ve hatched aren’t theirs and killing them. Also it just not feasible to keep all roosters. Unless their unusually chill they will attack each other and abuse the hens. I’d rather kill and eat my extra roosters than let them kill each other and pull out the hen’s feathers. Side note, why isn’t PETA protesting getting chicks in the mail? Are they simply not aware that you can do that? I’m glad their not because it’s an extremely safe practice, about as many survive as they would without being shipped (99%) and day old chicks don’t need to eat, that preserves genetic diversity and rarer breeds. But it’s an odd blind spot.
a bit morbid but i'm curious, do you let the roosters grow first to get more meat? I know roosters fight each other and can't be kept in the same pen so how do you keep them separate if you do?
@@whatdoyoucallanalligatorin9174 ah I tried to reply but apparently RU-vid shot me down for mentioning s3x linked and s3xing chickens. To summarize without using the Forbidden Phrases, there’s very few chicken breeds where you can easily tell the gender at birth. You can gently squeeze them when their very very young in such a way to tell what organ they have or spread their wing to observe their feathers, but both are difficult and dangerous so most don’t risk it. Instead, you just wait until their old enough to start crowing/acting like a rooster and work from there. Within the meat industry they do cull male chicks since they don’t taste nearly as good as females and industry is generally more capable of telling the gender, which sucks. I’d like to make it clear I don’t support that, especially not since scientist figured out how to tell the gender in egg and especially especially not through Maceration (meat grinder, the primary method in the us). The chicken industry is a nightmare, but PETA is PETA and can never just stick to that, can they?
I agree with this. Chickens definitely will cannibalize eggs, chicks, and adults. I also know of someone who had too many roosters from hatchings. They were all stressing the hens so much to the point where the hens stopped laying. They had bald spots on their heads from all of the roosters grabbing them there. Once most of the roosters were removed, the hens started laying again and their feathers grew back.
I had a teacher who wanted a class pet and decided to take fertilized eggs from her chicken coop and bring them to class, they were placed in incubator and once they grew to big she put them back into her original coop. 11/10 experience My favorite one was one named tiny and I got to hold the chick.
For the rat comic they couldve just been, “oh yeah i got her at a pet store, she was all squished in a tiny cage with a ton of others. The people there said she was a science rat and wasnt good for feeding.” Kid asks what they mean bu feeding and is explained etc etc. its bad when an 18 year old can make up a better flowing exposition dump than a company.
You've inspired me, so I decided to make up my own story flow. "Yes, I indeed did get her from the pet store. There was like, 7 rats in one really small cage. Yes, rats have to have friends so they won't get lonely, but seven in one cage is too much! I bought two of them, the seller warned me that these were once science rats, and that they were treated badly." Kids start asking about Sunshine and her friend (who most likely is running around somewhere in the yard), Sam just tells about animal testing the way it is (who, when, how, why), and adds up with some rules about rat's care that animal testing companies don't follow (like big well-ventilated cages, proper healthy food, keeping rats in groups so they won't get lonely, let them explore and so on). And ends with: "Yes, animal testing has gifted us a lot of medicines and goods we use right now, but it doesn't hide the fact that it's really cruel. I think it should be stopped. I believe that in the nearest future people's will find the way to test vaccines and cosmetics without using animals as test subjects." And maybe Sam's mother gonna tell about some researches on this topic. This way comic will *educate* children, not just *scare* them with needless cruelty. I'm fifteen.
Back in school we had a PETA activist visit, she obviously showed us bunch of animal abuse and started to guilt trip. Weird how our homeroom teacher was okay with that.
bro, that would be like if a dude was invited in to talk about stopping suicide and then he fucking pulled up the ronnie mcnutt video. that's a horrible thing to show to children, and it doesn't even do anything to solidify your case. the fact that woman wasn't immediately kicked out of the building is sad and disappointing.
My school did egg hatchings, we let them live free range on the campus. The rooster however became aggressive towards the little kids and had to be gotten rid of.
*for Kids* PETA...it says *FOR KIDS* , at least be decent to give them material that'll _inform_ them, not scare them! But knowing them, that's only a thrown away concept
So the same way Nostalgia Critic says "for kids" when it comes to 80s stuff XD cuz everyone has an 80s movie that traumatised em as a kid... Mine was Jaws and dread deep dark water
For kids,in the internet,means like 8 year olds or MORE,not 4 year olds,because why a 4 year old would be on the internet? Also I don’t think a 8 year old would be soo scared,just guilty
4:24 so nobody is gonna talk about how the kids were literally playing with a rat, then ran to the kitchen and picked up a burger without washing their hands.
Heyo! My father worked for the animal testing area in NC in the first comic. (Or at least in a place similar) He didn’t do anything with the animal testing, just helped make better AC for the college since that’s what his job is. But the reason why the comic brought up cancer was because that college was using animal testing to find cures for cancer, I believe. If I’m wrong I’m sorry! Since my dad didn’t tour the animal testing area, but the college kept it a secret for a while to prevent protests. (I’m guessing this college either was found out, or it’s a different college) I believe they only used rats and a small amount of rats too. Just that additional (maybe) fact, or at least observation I had!
I love how every single commenter with even a smudge of knowledge about animals can disprove these claims PETA addressed to children, because PETA knows so little, and is so misguided, that even when talking to kids they get everything wrong
That factory holding the rat pic at 3:49 looks like some “lost media” crap someone would make a creepypasta about after being traumatized by it as a child.
I gotta say I'm surprised they haven't said that having a pet dog is like killing a dog for it's skin Edit: I'm not even going to say thanks for the likes cause it's stupid
Lol next thing Peta is gonna do is scream that keeping dogs and cats is mean to the animals lol (not trying to make fun of pets bc Idc if u are vegan or not we are all the same)
🚩STRANGERS OPINION WARNING🚩 Here's the thing, its ridiculous to just straight up *cut meat from your diet* because you want to save animals. The problem isn't animals being farmed, its the WAY. Factory farming and deal like that is unethical. We shouldn't try to convince people to give up foods that the love, to big of a sacrifice. Instead we need to impose reforms on industrial animal farming. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
@@andrewevanyshyn1709 who's to judge? The right from wrong? when we all touch grass I think we'll both agree. That violence breeds violence, but in the end it has to be this way.
@@Spider_aaaahhh I've curved my own path, you've followed your wrath But maybe we're both the same. The world has turned, so many have burned. But nobody is to blame. It's tearing across this barren wasted land. I feel a new life could be born beneath the blood stained sands.
@@andrewevanyshyn1709 btw I'm not sure it's 99%, it's greatly exaggerated. Even though yes fast food corpos will always be fast food corpos but then again, there are farmer who doesn't factorized their meat industry or milk industry. 99% is greatly exaggerated and it just makes you looks like a pessimist who doesn't believe that there are some farmer who put their livestock in great condition, even though it's mostly rare nowadays.
@@chainsawvulture There's a dolphin animatronic out rn you should look at, it's pretty impressive too. I think it opens the doors for epic animatronics at the circus. Why have a tiger jump through a flaming hoop when you can have a fire breathing tiger lol
It's not the same T^T And the circus that they went after didn't abuse animals, it was the smaller European family circus that do, those circuses are just harder for them to come after.
Everybody asking why this kid knows so much about unethical testing, but I am wondering why that blonde pony tail girl is the only one bare foot outside while the other two have shoes and socks on.
As a goat owner and breeder ever since I was a clover cloverbud,this is HIGHLY inaccurate, we don't forcefully milk and breed them...we do it when necessary,and mainly we milk them to prevent diseases and to prevent them from being sick..
I'm 100% sure that there are 300 or more people that gets off to Peta's animal torture content. And more that'll discover them and develop a sick pleasure to animal abuse.
Speaking of animal testing, my school made us do some research into the topic about the pros and cons of this to then do a debate, in some of the topics there was a discussion about companies that do invasive and non-invasive tests and about organizations that tell you "this company does/doesn't do fucked up things to animals", and in unreliable organizations to tell you if the company fucks up animal was peta, idk I thought it was funny.
The funniest part about the rat story is that 1) Owning one rat at a time is not recommended since they are social creatures and most breeders will not sell you any fewer than two at a time 2) The cage show in the comic is WAY too small for a rat.
Imagine if peta made a popeye comic where popeye convinces wimpy to stop his hamburguer addiction, start being a vegeterian and support peta But seriously thought, without you not alot of people would be aware of peta's horrible ways of teaching kids about animals, veganism and vegetarianism.
"She didn't have a name there, just a number." Me and my friends: *-laughing and wheezing because in our school they replace every student's names with numbers-*
W-.... ye- I.... What kind of school do you go to exactly? Because that just sounds downright illegal. Literally no other school I've heard about from other kids who went to schools with weird rules did this. Guess those who ever compared schools to prisons weren't that crazy at all.... After all, it never was about learning, it's about grades. Change my mind.
@@Idiotic_B_Purcell it's actually for a good cause, in my school there are many students in each classroom and many of them have the same names so they give us numbers instead of names to make it easier. I know it sounds wrong but it makes it more easier to handle entire classes with 20-36 students in them. It's a latin catholic school after all.
The fact PETA tries to show actual videos of real animal abuse to young children is gross. I get wanting to teach kids to treat animals kindly, but I think the only thing these would do is scare kids.
Hahaha, NO! It IS a exageration to say that lab rats were slaughtered and shit. I had an english teacher who was, a long time ago, a biomedical researcher that ACTUALLY used rats as test subjects. It was in fact waaay more conventional than what some people expected. Actually, these rats had a normal life in a shelter reserved for biomedical scientists, the shelters were like most independants shelters (like the one I had my cat at), until some scientists chooses them to be confined until they were ready for the tests. After that, they were tested on with some meds industries’ medications or, for beauty industries, beauty products. Finally, they were euthanized a.k.a the most conventional/human way of killing.
Having worked in an animal testing laboratory, (and having quit because it was legit disgusting and horrible for several reasons) I can say that none of us had any smiles on our faces doing our jobs or if we caused any animals pain or suffering. In fact, to this day, that keeps me up at night. Also, why do people think life in the wild outside of captivity is some peachy happy dream of freedom? Animals in nature die slow, cruel, painful deaths regularly, if they dont suffer starvation. Captivation may not be perfect, but promoting sending captive animals into the wild is the opposite of promoting saving them
they hate killing animals for meat, yet somehow when they brutally murder and eat each other they don't bat an eye? why is it bad when we kill animals to eat them when they do the same thing? that's how nature was designed.
Never hated people doing animal tests, because what else we supposed to do? Test on people? There's not enough criminals to test everything. Plus all people who work on unethical, but neccesary jobs are heroes of some kind, because they're brave enough to do it. Also yeah, releasing captive animals in the wild is like a death sentence for them.
5:42 I cannot get over the wet market panel, "they deserve to be free with their families" Bruh what makes you think animal families stay together? A very small portion of animals actually stay together in their families, most animals usually quickly leave their parents to live on their own. I hate when garbage like "animals need to be with their family!" its not accurate, and its acting like animals have the need for family like humans do. The lack of knowledge peta has about animals honestly hurts my brain. The literal mindset of an eight year old. Don't even get me started on the chick one. Chicks really don't mind not being with their mother's as long as you have other chickens around. The way they act like the chick actually has a comprehension of "sister, why aren't you hatching?" THEY ARE ANIMALS, THEY CANNOT THINK LIKE WE DO.
In middle school my class, (along with a few others, not too many, maybe three, all science classes) raised chickens, we got them from a local farm that let us hatch them, they had large incubators and the lights always stayed on, during the weekends the teachers (and the janitors) came in to make sure they were doing alright. I think only one egg didnt hatch in my class and we were allowed to lightly pet the chickens, but not for too long. I think some students who owned chickens took some home and the rest went back to the farm. I think it should be mentioned that i live in a somewhat small town so its common for people to raise chickens and have farms. Most of my neighbors have chickens and one of my buddies in my neighborhood has a pig.
In 2nd grade, my class did a chick and duckling hatching project. The whole "where is everyone? I'm scared." Makes no sense to me as the chicks tend to bond to people easily. Chickens are domesticated. They are used to being around humans to a genetic level. Also, I'm pretty sure chicks don't tend to be sent into the wild. All the chickens and ducks in my class were adopted by students and their parents. About dissecting frogs! I know of several schools in my area that dissect invasive species of frogs, which is better for animals and the environment in general.
invasive species of frogs oh yeah definitely better than taking a native frog and dissecting it. wouldnt be surprised if peta would think thats inhumane even though invasive species slowly destroy the environment
"The other animals are still crammed inside tiny cages. A lot of them are really sick or have big cuts and tumors" Showns : -Shaved cat -Sheep partially shaved with weird tubes that look like eyes -Bunny with some kind of infection on its back, which reminds me of the Plague Rat of Doom from EarthBound/Mother2 -A monkey with ITS FUCKING BRAIN EXPOSED !
7:07 I own chickens; every year or two we use our incubator to try to hatch a couple dozen eggs. We usually get ~10-20 chicks (not all eggs are viable, and some just don't make it. It's not a tragedy, just life. Even less would make it if one of our hens tried brooding them - multiple hens have tried, none have actually succeeded.) But like, the incubator doesn't even need to shift the eggs around. All it needs is warmth and humidity and they're fine
2:57 no, my dad works at a office and one of the places in his buliding have lab rats, they get brain surgery to make the rat remote control and my dad said they still play and act like normal rats, nobody is cruel to the lab animals.
"Wait... are they going to acknowledge the benefits of animal testing as a means of saving human beings, thus exploring the nuances in a way kids could understand?" he asked, knowing the most likely answer to be no
maybe at one point but with the technology we have now, it would be better to try moving away from that. no matter how you spin it, it’s still inhumane.
We raised some baby quails in our class once. But my teacher knew about turning the eggs and would do so. He took very good care of them and now they have happy and loving homes. I loved petting them and giving them the needed affection. I'd let them sleep in my hands as well. Very cute! 💖
Best thing yet, PETA CEO openly declared, that PETA, People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, is in fact NOT an animal rights organization (or something along this lines). Tho, many people who worked for PETA claim that the CEO is a disturbed woman, so maybe she's just out of her mind and just pulled that shit out of her ass, I dunno. Anyway, it's official that PETA doesn't actually give a shit about animals, they're all just talk.
My brothers and dad and I went to see a circus this year that had horses, dogs, elephants, and cats. Yes, housecats. These cats gladly performed tricks with their tails held up and the tips curled. Not only that, all of the animals were very well groomed and fed, you could tell from just looking at their coats. There are for sure some circuses that take good care of their animals :)
i hate to be that guy, and i’m happy you had a good time, but there is pretty much no genuinely ethical way to house an elephant happily in a circus i’m afraid. :( i love the addition of cats, dogs, and horses though! they can do some really cool things too, they don’t have to be exotic. :)
@@NeroPawz That’s sort of what I figured, considering they’re big animals stuck in a tiny place. I’m definitely glad that they had more focus on animals actually meant to live in smaller conditions.
@@theanswerisa3758 it could also be leftover from how that particular circus was back then, it can be really hard to find rescues or zoos that will take an animal that size. elephants are hard to intergrade into already established herds, too. especially a circus elephant. they might be the last elephant they’ll ever have!
Never did an egg hatching project (our country just doesn't like these), but my friend from America did. And well, they were rotating eggs, because it was a part of project (they had to hatch a healthy, alive chick). They also were keeping temperature nice and warm, and after hatching gave chicks to the local farm.
When I saw the abused sheep in that first comic, I almost broke down in tears. I’ve always adored sheep and if I had seen this as a child I would have been SCARRED. Of course I’m going to tell my kids that animal abuse is deplorable, but not in a way that scares them for life.
@LEOLAMM Amen to that, you know that evil has a hold on this world when we commit atrocities against the least of these, those who cannot speak for themselves.
I recently did an argument in school about animal testing, while finding arguments I found a picture of a cat with half its face cut open, I think about that sometimes...
As a North Carolinan who has had pet rats, that first comic made me cackle harder than it should have. Not because I was cutting off the heads of rats, though.
I think Peta neglects to realize that if everyone goes vegan, then a quite substantial percentage of livestock would not get to live. They wouldn't get to repopulate and the population would decline to those who only keep those livestock as pets. They wouldn't get to live long and happy lives.
i agree with that but there does need to be significantly less of them at a time, their methane emissions especially when produced on a mass scale like they are is causing havoc to our environment.
you forgot "your mommy kills animals" a comic book that was given to the kids of mothers who were wearing coats made out of down and other similar products outside of a theater playing "the nutcracker", the book was featured on watchmojo's "ten times PETA went too far",
Fish can't be in a bowl, or small tank... the smallest size tank for the smallest goldfish is 20 gallons, but the kinds most people put in bowls (commet or common should be in at least a 75 gallon) actually a bowl is too small for any fish, the smallest tank for a fish is 5 or 10 gallons, but this would be avoided if people do their research before getting a fish. But I'm sure the peta comic says "all" fish belong in the ocean (when some are in lakes, and goldfish are motafied, and will destroy a whole ecosystem if released into the wild)
At my school we had a librarian in the elementary school who wanted to do a hatching eggs project and she had a friend who came in with professional incubators and it was nice to watch the incubators turn the eggs and when they hatched no one was allowed to touch them so the chicks could be healthy (but me being obsessed cane to the school library after class and got to pet them with the librarian)
Now I feel guilty because I uploaded a video of some baby guinea pigs I saw at the pet store the other day. They all looked healthy, they were eating and popcorning and their cage was quite large, but you know how these animal wrongs enthusiasts are. The one thing that bothered me was that the guinea pigs were all male and I was worried that if I brought a couple home they would get aggressive and attack each other as they got older.
pet stores are interesting because it’s up the actual store itself to treat its animals nicely, not necessarily the chain it comes from. i wouldn’t feel too bad about it, if they looked happy then they probably were. :)
5:55 I remember doing a egg hatching project in kindergarten and it is not as bad as it might seem like from the comic: instead of just a glass box it was just an incubator and it was not just 1 it was around like 9 to 12? I think which is not really important to what I’m going to say next: we do not release them almost immediately we send them to another person who has already been sent chickens don’t believe everything you see on PETA
Our school had a incubation place. The eggs were brought in by local farmers and school students that raised chickens and we learned how reproduction and stuff and mitosis and miosis. All the baby chicks we got to name it was adorable and they got to go back to their owners after about a week of staying in the school
mate when it comes to breeding cows in Poland, they are most often released for a few hours on a clearing (often several hectares) and rather feel well there, of course, the milk is taken from them but pk what's the milk if the young that she gave birth to, most often do not drink this milk anymore at the age of 2 so what the pete shows is a lie on a lie (sorry for ortography i translated it in google translator)
Oh boy! A comic about chickens. Would be a shame if I... _unleashed my hyperfixation_ First up, when chicks hatch they don't automatically assume hens are their mothers (this is commonly known as imprinting) and will typically look for cover from the nearest thing the chick assumes is its parent. Usually this is a(n adult) person offering cover with an open palm or an object. One thing to note though is that you should probably not keep chicks in a glass tank that looks like its meant for reptiles. Mother hens don't carefully rotate eggs, or at least a majority of them don't (though if you're hatching it's recommended you do so). With chickens behavior differs from breed to breed and even chicken to chicken, so ultimately the hen herself won't automatically do this. In some cases broody hens even leave chicks to die or peck them to death, but on the flip side some hens (usually if they're friends or the same breed) will 'co mum' chicks. But overall there's a lot of negative information about the ethics of chick raising without getting to vital bits or _why_ they're really important. Or even positive information that encourages people to raise their own chickens or buy from more reputable sources.
Peta's relying on fear tactics and guilt tripping, and now they're targeting kids with this stuff?? If I was a young kid and I saw that comic about animal experimentation, I'd get the wrong idea and have nightmares over this stuff
2:07 as someone who owns pet rats, glass/ plastic cages are not good for rats. That wired wheel? Wtf. And the fact that it’s only one rat in this tiny little cage? Rats are social animals, and need bigger cages than that, with ventilation. I know it’s not a real rat, but that could spread misinformation.
I can tell you for a fact we don't laugh while we dissect animals. We wheeze uncontrollably. No but in all seriousness what? Nobody enjoy those labs. We actively dislike them but some of them are necessary. If you want a doctor to be able perform on you properly, they're going to have to have some experience on an animal in some way shape or form. I hate it too. I hated the labs that involved frogs and rabbits because I love animals. But I also get why it can be necessary.
I’ve always thought of animal testing as a moral and situational gray area. In cases where animal testing can be avoided with no significant cost, it should obviously be avoided. But in cases where animal testing is required, if the animals isn’t particularly intelligent and the cause is great enough, and tests have been done previously to increase animal safety, I think it’s worth it.
My school did the chicken egg project and apparently the other science teachers in my school did it well with no problems, rolled the eggs, kept the temperature great, and then as soon as they were done being grown, they were sent back to the sanctuary that sent them. Well my teacher fucked up the temperature of an entire batch of eggs and they all died :( we only had half of our eggs hatch and my teacher didn’t even let us go back and look at them when the other teachers allowed their classes to pet them :(
As a vegetarian and a huge animal lover myself it not only breaks my heart but extremely angers me to see PETA giving animal-rights activists a bad name every day with their terrible tactics offensive shock factor valuing marketing, and all the terrible things they have done not mentioned in this comment. Just a note out there to say that not all of us should be associated with people like them or other people with similar tactics such as that vegan teacher. They do more harm than good. Have a great day everyone :)
The first comic makes me like... upset for reasons you may not except which is its enclosure seen in the background is actually inappropriate for a rat. Their cage needs to be bigger and have more verticality to it (rats love to climb). Furthermore it looks to be a tank style enclosure which rats CANNOT be kept it as those often lead to a potentially fatal respiratory condition. Lastly rats are extremely social and, unless they have aggression issues, they should always be kept with another rat. So yeah that whole comic went on such a tangent about how abusive animal testing is... while indirectly teaching kids exactly all the wrong ways one should take care of a rat.
I'm a phd student, and people don't know one key element when it comes to animal testing. You have to your research plan to the institute research ethics board (animals have a different one than the human IRB), and the board will ask you if the research can be done without an animal and what you as the researcher will do to minimize the harm done to the animals. It's not a free for all!
I love how unbiased he is, even when peta is an awful organization-like he's always so open minded and if peta somehow manages to do a somewhat adequate job in one of these comics he's honest about it. Props to this guy 👌
Facts About Milk: Casein and whey protein are some major proteins of milk that a human needs(I swear I'm not biased). They make out about 80% of bovine milk. Another protein in milk is called calcium. This protein is needed to create better and stronger bones. It can also help prevent osteoporosis and bone fractures. We should all probably know that the milk I'm talking about comes from goats and cows. And before some of you guys jump up on me with of how milking cows is bad, and they should not be milked, well then that's what you think and you can stick with that, but there are some problems with this situation. On dairy farms, or just plain farms, cows need to be milked every 12 hours (4 am to 4 pm). The reason behind this is because if they are not milked like, at all, cows can get a disease called mastitis, which is deadly for the cow. Other things that can happen to the cow are infections, udder injury, and a painful death. I'm not saying you should always drink milk, because you don't. But the excess milk has gotta go somewhere. Edit: Thank you for your time.
I'm just going to say one thing regarding animal testing. You literally have no choice. We don't have supercomputers that can predict everything 100% yet. How else are you going to test new medicine? I think it's fair that the first testing trials are done on animals and not humans immediately. it would be worse if everything was done on humans.
Fun fact: some animals live longer in captivity so asking the animals to not be used in zoos or anywhere they are taken care of and be free is making their shorter and making them die faster And maybe even die from predators We are top of the *food* chain because we are smart Animals eat eachother and we are acting like being the predator and being one with nature is “bad”
