It's just natural for me to consider and feel that the plants really are equal to all other life. As a matter of fact, here's another thing you might think is strange, I even consider the minerals, air, water...all......as equal. I consider that I understand, know and perceive perhaps only the tip of the tip of the iceberg concerning all that exists around me.
Agreed. I find it rather anthropocentric to think otherwise. We are not the only things on this earth. This planet wasn't made for us. I feel that to be opposed to hierarchies you would also be opposed to putting humyns above other species or whatever.
Define testing here, because all medicines were tested on animals at some point, they saw what animals used to help something, or eat, if they ate it we ate it, if it looked like it, but animals won't eat, we sure weren't eating it.
Observing what an animal eats or how it lives isn't the same thing as strapping down a cat, a baby beagle, a monkey, or various other animals and making them go through unbelievable amounts of torture for something that has no relation to them what so ever. Doing this just perpetuates the idea that humyns are entitled to do whatever the fuck they want to whatever they fuck they want. Testing does not mean observing and learning from animals in the wild. I would say that testing means imposing your wants and sick desires, which are primarily driven by profit, on a non-humyn animal. That includes taking an animal from the wild and observing it in a cage.
