It's interesting to hear how things have devolved at Amazon. I've done picking and packing gigs there over the Christmas period about 10 years ago and it wasn't awful. Hard work but nothing too crazy. They would track how many items you picked/packed in an hour but that was about it. It sounds much worse there these days.

Animal testing is always a weird one. I love animals. I've studied Zoology. I want to be an Ecologist. The thought of animals being born just to be tested on and then euthanised at the end of the study is distressing. However it doesn't change that I probably wouldn't be alive if animal testing didn't exist. You probably wouldn't be alive either. Somewhere in our family tree, someone who benefited from the treatment would have gone without and died.

Given that I'm alive because of animal testing, if I then go on to look after animals, or work in ecology and protect the environment by using my abilities to save and protect more animals, is that a worthy trade off when you extend it to include everyone who works with animals or fields that benefit animals in a positive way? What about people like David Attenborough, who has reached billions with his message of protecting animals and the environment and will continue to do so for generations thanks to film?

>I hope they were given loving care after the study was over,

They train and hire animal husbandry technicians to care for the animals daily before and during the studies, but post-study the animals are typically euthanized to prevent suffering. These people work hard and they have a tough job looking after animals they know won't be here soon, and of course people tend to blame/attack them for being involved in animal testing as they are low hanging fruit, an easy target on the front line, despite them working hard to ensure the animals are well cared for.

if you think the story is real i got a bridge to sell you
