Selection 32 - Our Stolen Future

Alot of damage we see in lab animals and in wildlife has been unfortunately forewarning us of the symptoms that have been increasing in human population. Humans and animals share alot in common, sometimes we forget but most things we have, first came from the natural resources we have. We use animals for testing and alot of people argue with that but the scientists do know what they are doing, and if the hurt the animals, they are obviously going to hurt us.  In 1991, in Wisconsin, scientists explored hormone distrupters that lead to harmful chemicals being exposed to the population.  They had to let everyone know that these distrupters were out in the open and to be very careful of their use.  Although people again disagree with animal testing, the animal studies provide us with knowledge of what is harmful or not, and we should always take that into consideration. We need to start really looking at what is harmful for both animals and humans and maybe start trying to figure out a better way than animal testing. We want a bright future, not a stolen one.
