Awhile ago I was able to adopt an ex-research rabbit...he lived with us in our home for 6 years then passed away last year on Christmas. As someone who has benefited hugely from animal research (check out the notes that accompany your meds: dogs, cats, monkeys, countless mice and others...)
I've often thought, and think about the millions of sacrificed little lives, so that I (and many other people) can be well. I grieve that we still have need of animal test subjects, and hope at some point soon we'll be able to use mostly cultured human tissue in place of living animals (and beat this crappy disease once and for all!)
So, this time of year around Easter I like to make a special donation to an animal welfare organization, in thanks and remembrance
