Give Me a Break,

The PETA slogan is, “Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.” But according to the Torah, animals do belong to us to use responsibly & without inflicting unnecessary cruelty (tza’ar baalai chayim). They believe animals have rights; I believe that people have responsibilites which include treating animals appropriately.

Their views on animal testing are a natural extension of this motto. Even if I agree with some of their positions, I could never support them, because their viewpoint is diametrically opposed to mine.
