Most people eat meat because they like the taste. It's way less ethical than scientific research into the visual systems of turtles.

And the majority of animal research is on pre-clinical treatments for human diseases.

I've always been amazed at how animal rights activists target scientists over the animal farming industry.

Animal rights activists regularly target both. They even go as far as doing sit ins in slaughter facilities to show how gruesome and cruel they are to the animals.

I don't think it's proportional. There should be way more on the animal farming industry and way less on scientific research. But that's just my opinion.
