i once googled why they use beagles for experiments
the answer upset me hugely

Is it because they are really stupid?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 9 Oct 2012, 11:04, Reply)

sort of, yes
it's because they love people and are really gentle and friendly, without an ounce of violence.

i can think of many, many people i would rather test drugs and cosmetics on than a helpless beagle.

That breaks my heart.
I was in Taipei airport and there were a load of old Chinese people who were having problems with the escalator having never seen one before.

It was endearing and then swiftly irritating.

It's probably more fun if they look up at you with trust and love in their eyes
before you drip shampoo into them.

cruelty to animals drives me mad, i can't bear those rspca programmes
but i would quite happily pay to drip acidic shampoo in davina mccall's eyes, for example.

Monty sold her some smack once.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 9 Oct 2012, 11:22, Reply)

she's just so intolerably smug
she's like the lovechild of tony blair and psychochomp.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 9 Oct 2012, 11:23, Reply)

I would though.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 9 Oct 2012, 11:25, Reply)

I was hoping for a deluge of different ones

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 9 Oct 2012, 11:12, Reply)

it's perhaps more of a cystitis trickle than a deluge
but keep it up
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 9 Oct 2012, 11:21, Reply)

Eww.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 9 Oct 2012, 11:21, Reply)

i guess cystitis and keeping it up are mutually exclusive
