No animals are living beings and should not be subjected to testing that could kill them and they can't consent to it. Animals are living breathing beings and should not be treated like inanimate objects that are only here to benefit humans.

 @9FMLZRNDemocrat from Indiana  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Animals are beings of nature, just as we are and just as we have been since the beginning of time. You wouldn’t want to see your family pet be abused and poked and prodded with needles, so why are these other animals any different? Why shouldn’t we practice on other humans, wouldn’t that show how makeup and devices and other things work on human skin or how well they work with humans better than animals?

  @HelcovichEmireRepublican from Maryland  commented…5mos5MO

The value of a pet comes from the owner's view and love of them. If no person loves that animal like a pet, then that animals' live is worthless and expendable.

 @9FMHPCFWomen’s Equality from North Carolina  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I feel we should not test any product on any animals I feel we should test them on the criminals on death row, the criminals that have been given live sentence. Because the animals don't desurve to be tested on.

  @HelcovichEmireRepublican from Maryland  disagreed…5mos5MO

First of all, I don't think there are enough criminals on death row anyways. But most importantly, murderers deserve to die in a similar fashion to how they killed their victim, not by being experimented on like an animal.

 @9FLRDWHWomen’s Equality from Indiana  disagreed…2yrs2Y

The harmful use of animals in experiments is not only cruel but also often ineffective. Animals do not naturally get the diseases that humans do. Such as types of heart disease, many types of cancer, HIV, Parkinson’s disease or schizophrenia. Signs of these diseases are artificially induced in animals in laboratories in an attempt to mock the human disease. These experiments belittle the human conditions which are affected by wide ranges of variables. (Ex: genetics and psychological issues)

 @9GRVYDRdisagreed…2yrs2Y

If it is not for cosmetics then what would it be for. If cleaning products, that is worse than makeup.

 @9FMM2V5disagreed…2yrs2Y

Animals are family to us and we need them to continue growing as a race, so why would we test things on them, and not on ourselves.

 @9FMKFMVProgressivedisagreed…2yrs2Y

Animals are living beings. If we wouldn't test it on a human why would we test it on another living soul?

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
