Seventeen to 100 million mice, rats, birds, rabbits, cats, dogs, primates and other animals suffer and die in laboratories every year in the U.S. They comprise the research subjects in chemical, drug, food, cosmetics and medical training exercises to assure that products are safe for human use. But is this really the case? Though there is little mention of animal medical research, or vivisection, in the mainstream press these days, scientists, medical doctors and animal activists have railed against animal experimentation for decades. Does animal research do anything to advance human health and wellness? Despite all the years of experimentation, has it ever led to any cure or breakthrough? Can the results of research conducted on an entirely different species even be extrapolated to human beings? Is vivisection just a way for people in white lab coats to get away with torturing animals?

On today's episode of The Health and Wellness Show explored this topic in depth. Zoya's Pet Health Segment lightened up the mood with fun facts about farm animals.

on living organically:

As far as my own self, I have always preferred my relationships of the many various sorts with animals and other forms of life and with the living terrain to that of a 'life' with the sterile and dead, but highly obedient (so far) and 'efficient' machine.

That is not to say technology is not sometimes of some benefit and good. It is also not say that there are not dangers in the wild and the natural.

But in extending technology to the utmost, the psychotic man of wealth and greed and lies and deliberate obfuscation not only constantly forgoes his fellow men, but also the entire organic universe.

He (the psycho) will get what he deserves, in the end. He will fall victim to his own insatiable predatory and phoney desires. It will take a long time, if ever, for him to rise again.

What is most unfortunate, in my opinion, is that he (the psycho, the techno-porn king) has so many ardent human admirers, believers, followers and disciples.

the impossible dream

I always urge readers of Sott, to read this guy (above).

Though not likely 'enlightened' and not foolproof either, I view Miles Mathis and his work as exceptional for this current day and age of techno-porno-industrial strength-deception.

He also exposed Wendell Berry for the fraud and sycophant that he is, something I had to learn the hard way. Ie., by asking Mr. Berry for help when our farm was ravaged by the 'certified organic' industry. Mr. Berry chose to support the industry.

Here are Mathis' comments and views on Berry.

We are, collectively, living a dream that is becoming more and more and MORE, a nightmare.
