Thread: The Effects Of Lysergic Acid On A Cat

WTF

I'm better off not knowing this kind of stuff. God.

Why the hell would anyone want to do that to a cat?

Terrible. So terrible we all have to go look at it.

curiosity killed the cat


*ducks*

... Ynot, why did you find this ... ?

That was so, so very wrong. I liked it!

I opt out not to see it based off of everyone elses reactions.

Good thinking.

The fact that the clip has been blatantly edited for entertainment purposes makes me wonder.

LOL.

The best thing about this was its sound track. Very odd, but good.

And leave the criticism out, this research stuff is all very necessary, and the cat was probably having fun anyway.

Animal Experimentation + Vivisection = Scientific Progress
Scientific Progress = Good

Do your own maths.

It's only a cat for crying out loud....

^^^ fire in the hole

Wow, I wonder why a cat would react like that and a human wouldn't. Actually maybe some people would have a reaction like this if they were allergic.

And Ynot, nice sig

Wow - that's probably one of the most moronic statements I've ever read on here.

Stupid.

I think it's a valid opinion to state through, regardless of any cat-lovers present. Animals aren't people, people are people. Why bother emphasising with one animal? It's not likely to have the intelligence to think anything of it. I'm all for human rights but the idea that animals have rights is ridiculous, they are inferior to us and thus do not warrant any extension to society's morals. Maybe if it were endangered, yes, but it's just one little kitten - there'd be plenty more it's just a commodity after all to satisfy those who think caring for a furry animal will somehow enhance their lives and bring happiness to theip pet's stunted little minds.

^ Yeah, good point

So basically what you're saying is that animals cannot feel pain so who cares, right? Animals experience pain in the same exact way, and intensity, as people do, but just because they can't say how much it hurts, doesn't make it any less of a sensation. Oh, it's just one animal - so the same can be said for one starving child - it's just one starving, suffering child, so who cares? It doesn't affect me. That's just an ignorant and uncompassionate way of thinking. Animals are living creatures, just as humans are - we are just animals, too, in case you've forgotten. We do not have any right to torture animals just because we can.

Uh sure.

I think that real life testing is necessary, however we would achieve much better results if we tested medicines and stuff on real humans. Where do we find humans for these tests? Prisons, of course.

Haha, I saw that we posted at the exact same time! Good timing

Im not gonna look at it because im a cat lover, hell im an animal lover period.
I h8 when people kill cats and dogs or any animal for no reason or torture them its wrong and for the person who said animals lives meen nothing. well like burns said
they feel pain just as much as we do. how would you like it if someone did this kinda shit too you? would you like it? NO so why do people do it to animals i hate people like that its so wrong

A sensation yes but I doubt animals have as complex an emotional relationship with pain as a human does.

No, one cat is not equal to one human child. I'd happily kill a million kittens if it were to save one child. Perhaps animals do have some worth - some more than others - but relative to the importance of just one human, it's tiny.

Compassion is a human emotion, so I'll stick to being compassionate about humans only thank you. As for ignorant, I don't believe that myself. I think it is a just opinion.

Maybe there exists some superset "Animals" but it would be a stretch of the imagination to say it had any context other than sheer biology. The differences between humans and animals are vast, I don't argue that we are biologically somewhat similar, but this superficial; humans are quite obviously more advanced, progressed and valued than 'other' animals, and our objective experiences and purpose are not to be compared.

That may be true, but the kitten in the video is part of valuable biological trials, as are many animals. Vivisection and experimentation is a great idea, not because it kills animals, but because it is such a useful tool in areas of research that are genuinely worthwhile.

"Compassion is a human emotion, so I'll stick to being compassionate about humans only thank you. As for ignorant, I don't believe that myself. I think it is a just opinion."

O so you think animals cant love? your wrong there m8
