Re: Yet another reason Naked Mole Rats are just weird
Does it bother anyone else that they decided to see if these animals felt ACID BURNS ON THEIR SKIN?  |

Re: Yet another reason Naked Mole Rats are just weird
Awww, how cute. Now I have one more animal to add to my list to cuddle with!
As interesting as the findings are, I cannot get past the experimentation on these innocent animals in order to make life more convenient for humans. The experiment could have easily gone the other way, and no one would think it's so cool.

Me.
I am against animal testing, and I agree with Star, this could have easily gone the other way.
I do think the results are incredible, but at what expense? who really cares that they are so insensitive to pain? let them be and live their lives...
i was going to say this before you mentioned it, but I didnt eant to turn this into an animal testing debate.... |

Re: Yet another reason Naked Mole Rats are just weird
I will not say it is right or wrong to test animals. I will only say that it bothers me terribly, and I feel sad when I read these kinds of threads. And also, now I want to cuddle with one of those little moles.

Re: Yet another reason Naked Mole Rats are just weird
I don't want a debate either
I guess the Nonchalantlessness (is that even a word) of their article kinda got my goat.....................BAAAAAAAA
