Good to hear from you. Be careful though. Next you’re going to suggest something crazy like planting organic food and cleaning our local environment to help prevent disease and improve people’s health so we don’t have to worry about wooing pharmaceutical companies. Wait! Could that work?
I’m glad you wrote this. There are so many things wrong with this situation. At the end of the day I hope Biotech isn’t the future. Most of the illnesses we are trying to cure in this country are of our own making and these companies profit from our collective dis-ease. Nothing wrong with focusing on wellness for a change. Thanks for the post.

Animal testing is an extremely cruel, unnecessary practice. This day in age, we have proven technology that is superior to antiquated animal research. These sentient beings suffer horrible existences, while constantly being tormented. Colin Goddard lives a lavish lifestyle as a result of profiting off the deaths of countless animals.

I hope this will save Long Island taxpayers the $86,697 in security spent “due to multiple home protests conducted by animal rights activists”, as reported previously by Newsday.
