A clipboard, protocol, and laboratory vocabulary cannot make violence neutral. When an animal’s body becomes experimental equipment, professional procedure does not erase the suffering or excuse the institution that authorizes it. #animalrights

It's ridiculous how some people defend animal testing while hailing the Orange One's policies! Back in my day, we cared for our furry friends, not experimented on them. Dogs are pure, they deserve our loyalty and love. Let's focus on protecting them instead of playing with politics!

Modern science doesn't have to rely on animal testing. Computational toxicology uses AI and computer modeling to predict how drugs and chemicals interact with the human body, helping build a safety assessment framework that is more predictive, more efficient, and free from animal harm.
