"They're part of our families … Go with the mice, go with the rats, no problem — but these are pets," Ford said, adding he's an "animal lover."

Does Doug know what an animal is?

Y'know, Dougie, there are plenty of people who keep mice or rats as pets, and most of those people no doubt consider them members of the family. Your view of pets is extremely narrow.

What a fucking doofus.

He is either going nuts like the statements the child rapist makes or he is trying to create a narrative to obfuscate the real issues also like the child rapist.

Hi, I'm a medical scientist who has worked in labs doing animal research. Let me tell you this – it's the fucking Wild West for all practical purposes. The stuff some labs get away with is DISGUSTING and gives me nightmares.

I'm not a conservative, but I'm glad Ford is doing this, and I commend his bravery in doing so. Fuck all of the so-called scientists who do sick experiments on sentient high-order animals.

The worst part is, 90% of the time, the research questions can be answered using mice – or sometimes without using animals at all. The reason we cling to animal research is because if we didn't, a lot of (very sick) scientists would lose their jobs, because they lack the skills to work with other model systems.
