They took a big risk doing this to cats… but just look at the result!

are the poor kitties that survived healthy as of this date,and where are they now?can you post more recent pics .dont believe in too much research stuff,if it harms the animals…but why not find a resistant cat that has a strong imune that has never been sick,but been around others that gotten sick over and over again..i have a cat like that,and he never even had a sneeze,even tho.he been exposded to herpies,poss.fip,etc..i still can understand it myself.and hes a pic of jasper….healthy sence born around may 2010 as a kitten rescued from outside as a feral…along with his sister…

Yes, I would rather we test on humans. Animal testing does not need to happen, we choose to use other living members of this planet who cannot say “no” simply because we can. Do not confuse need with choice.

Fascinating bit of research but it only teaches us about feline immunodeficiency virus and simian immunodeficiency virus, not HIV. It’s a lot of money to spend on curing diseases in cats and monkeys. Let’s try tissue cultures from HUMANS.

Yeah, my first thought is they’re the cutest (and they couldn’t sneak up on you in the dark no matter how hard they tried). But I just hope they all get to live as natural a life as possible, and that testing for HIV resistance doesn’t require anything more radical than a blood draw…and they aren’t stuck in cages for their entire lives.

Is there a way I can adopt one of these?! BTW – animal testing needs to happen. As cruel as it may be, it’s the step before human testing, would you rather do experiments on lab children? I don’t think so…

Want! If they need to fund their research, just breed glowing kitties (no macaque genes necessary). I bet people would pay a ton of money to have one of these as a pet.

Enjoy them today, for the aliens will be coming to pick up their pets soon…

Personally, I think they should setup a corporation and market this – there’s gotta be a pile of cash in this somewhere…

Am I the only one who thinks animal testing is cruel?
