No it really isn't nesicary. I say they test on humans. Of coruse the person would have to volunteer but I think if the thing being tested is for humans to use then it should be tested on humans. However, if the thing being tested is for use on animals, then maybe animals should be tested. In fact it would be better to test drugs for humans on humans because it is used for humans. Not to sound like an ass, but there is a human overpopulation problem anyway. I would test on convicts with death scentances (or that volunteer for something in return) before I would test on an animal who cannot voice an oppinion. And rats are awsome. Wild rats are actually very clean, a common misconception is that they are dirty disease carriers, not true. I mean of course they are dirtier than domestic animals, but compared to other wild animals they are quite clean (they clean themselves as often as cats do and in the same fashion). I would not let a wild rat stay in my house, but I would catch it in a non-kill mouse trap, and then release it where it could have a good home. They sell non-kill mouse traps almost everywhere and they only cost a tiny bit extra. They are effective and there is really no excuse for not using them (other than they do not sell the traps near you, which is probablly a lie unless you live in the middle of no where with no chain stores like Wal-Mart or Home Depot).
its absolutely wrong to get animals high, however thberes nothin wrong with animals who like to get high i've had a couple herb is an herb..its a food, its a medicine hell my chinchilla needed alil,,lol but he ate a bud bigger then his head once ..he was a hardcore pothead..hed grab burnin buds outa the bowl...i wouldnt doubt it should be part of theyre diet if it was a wild weed like it should be b4 the attempted genocide of a extremely benificial plant...with just the industrial and medicinal use of legalization would have such a benificial impact ..on the economy and the environmentbut im wandering..lol..animals,,,yea..you 4 sure shouldnt ever intentiomnaly get any other being high without theyre consent, damn i saw sum1 give a baby mouse grain alcahol, on,ly a few drops nearly killed it ya dont get animals high....believe me..i tried rescuing every bud from my chiunchila my fox liked stickin his nose in the bowl too come to think of it
My chilla won't go anywhere near bud! He 'narfs' at it and runs away. LoL I feel sorta sorry for some of my rodents though 'cause I know they gotta be getting some second hand off me.
Actually I gotta say testing on people facing the death sentence seems like a good idea, and there is human population, but rats, man they breed like nothing. Anyway medical testing on animals (or humans if its ever legal) is still 100% necessary, all vaccinations, and most medications are all there as a result of animal testing. Also the rat is the lowest of all pets (get a gerbel at least, or some other rodent that doesnt have a history of carrying the plague) smoking accordian playing orangutan is of course the highest level of pet you can achieve, except maybe dragon if they existed.
I wouldn't say that rats are clean I mean how do you explain the bubonic plague? Its deff. wrong to experiment on animals and what not and my cat always puts it face in fron of mine when I smoke so i just blow a little torwards until it stops.
actually i kno a dude whose cat loves to lick the tray after we've blown a few lines. kitties love numbies
Rats are very clean animals when living in the right inviroment. of course those kind of rats people dont know about since the only rats they know are the dirty sewer rats/city rats. And i still cant see how the hell rats can cause an enormous plague like that. Unless they were experimenting them with some nasty chemicals, which wouldn't be the rats fault. I mean, im sure there are more rats now then there was WAY back then, why isnt their 'plagues' scattering the countries? yes get the same pets everyone eles has! rats are the most intelegant of any pet rodent, and make the best rodent-type pets if your looking for a loyal, intergetic, companion. Unless your looking for a boring little gerbel that just lays there, eats, and plays on his little wheel once in a while(not dissing gerbel/hamster owners, i really like them too; i like all rodents). So please do a little more research before looking down on them. its just as bad as anti-marijuana people dissing weed because they dont know the truth about it or never tried it.
^^^^ ya i dont kno alot about rats (personally i wouldnt want one) but they do seem a hell of alot smarter than gerbils and shit
of course thats why scientist use them in experiments, their brain is always active and always solving different problems and what not. which is why they are excelent pets, and unfortunaly, excelent experiments.
Hokay noobs heres what you do. Next time you want to get a pet high, get it to ahng around you then let it smell your weed and see what it does, if it leaves let ig go if it stays by you spark a joint/bowl and take a hit if it runs let it go if it stays blow a puff towards its face if it stays blowa bigger puff and finaly if it dosnt run cup your hands around its face and exhale into your hands and let the pet take a few breaths.
i think it expands an animals mind just as it expands a humans, just to a different extent and at different amounts i get my dog high, the trick is to know when they've had enough my dog and i get baked lots, every couple hoots a blow one his way and we just chill and listen to hendrix, pink floyd, and some grateful dead. he loves it
The Bubonic Plague was carried by fleas on the rats, not the rats themselves. The fleas would then get near humans, bite them, and pass the plague. The real problem is that humans during that time were not clean and had fleas all around their city. Your cat can get fleas too, doesn't mean your cat is not clean. Actually rats have been found to be as smart as many dogs. So it's like testing on a very small dog. My sister had two pet rats who could find their way through complicated mazes, fetch a small ball, and would come when called by their names. I find it to be sick an cruel to test on rats. In fact I would test on gerbils or hamsters before I would test on rats (though I find all testing to be cruel). The only reason people think the same way you do is because of the history rats have as being some dirty animal that carries diseases (not true, if there were lots of gerbils, cats, dogs, w/e in Europe at the time of the Bubonic Blague then the fleas would have just been on those animals, not rats). On another one of your points, yes rats breed a lot, but they only live for about 2-4 years (domesticated) and less int he wild. Plus they use up so much less resources than humans do. To compare the overpopulation of any animal (with the exception of deer that kill forests at an alarming rate due to overpopulation and their calorie intake) is ridiculous. Humans use up crazy ammounts of resources, probablly (and almost definetly) more than all the animals in the world combined.
I gave my cat one large hit and she was shaking with me sitting on the stairs for about half an hour, then I took her downstairs and she ate food for half an hour and watched tv with me. she was FUCKED UP man. It took me like twenty hits off of a steam roller to get that fucked up, it took her like one really big one. You guys are overdosing your pets, for a cat or dog, it should take two small hits to fuck them up
Maybe animals are like humans, cause the cat I got high took like 6 hits and it could still run in a sraight line, it was just hella hyper. The first time we did 3 hits and it was fine, then we packed another bowl and gave it 3 more (like a 5-10 minute break between the first 3 and the last) and stopped when it got high. I bet different animals act differently and take higher or lower doses to get high, just like humans.
Thats why were there to feed them, not like we make them choice, besides wil my dog get to doped up to sit around the house all day lick him slef and then go back to bed?
