AT: “Animal Rights Prop up Capitalism”Turn- Animal Rights is a threat to global Capitalism Independent, “CBI TO PRESS BLUNKETT TO SET UP SPECIAL POLICE FORCE; DIGBY JONES PLANS TO MEET THE HOME SECRETARY TO ASK FOR HELP”, November 7, 2004, Sunday, First Edition; BUSINESS; Pg. 3 Digby Jones, the director- general of the CBI, is to press the Government to set up a dedicated police force to tackle the rise in security threats against business. Mr Jones believes that British companies need more help from the Government and the police to combat what he said are "threats to democratic capitalism" - such as terrorist attacks, animal rights extrem-ism, espionage and computer hacking. "Do I intend to put this high on the lobby agenda of the CBI? Yes, I do. And I intend to sit down with David Blunkett the Home Secretary and raise the issue, because I know he will listen," he said. no link and Turn- The Government defines both anti-capitalist and animal rights activists within the same catergory Andrew Parker, writer,”Anti-terrorism law may prevent violent protests LEGISLATION POLICE TO HAVE GREATER POWERS AGAINST ACTIVISTS”, Financial Times, December 3, 1999, NATIONAL NEWS; Pg. 2 The government's terrorism bill, published yesterday, will allow the police for the first time to use anti-terrorism powers against "domestic terrorists". The catch-all definition of terrorism in the legislation means police might be able to use the powers against anti-capitalism groups; as well as animal rights activists and green campaigners, including those who oppose genetically modified food. Turn- Animal Rights activists support anti-capitalism in the fight against globalization Eetta Prince-Gibson, ”The burger they love to hate”, The Jerusalem Post, May 31, 2002, Friday, FEATURES; Pg. 4B But to others, McDonald's is the archvillian, the target for a host of environmentalists, animal rights activists, vegetarians, trade unionists, and enemies of capitalism. During the past six years, according to McDonald's own web-publications, McDonald's restaurants have been the targets of hundreds of violent protests, including bombings from Rome, Prague and London, to Macao, Rio de Janeiro, and Jakarta. that wherever they roam, wherever on the globe they find themselves, no matter what cultural challenges they face, a Big Mac and fries will always look and taste the same. Yet, despite the universal homogeneity of the food, the protests against and support for McDonald's in each country reveals much about the culture that McDonald's was supposedly trying to homogenize-out. AT: “Animal Rights Trade Off With Necessary Biomedical Research”TURN - MANIPULATED CONDITIONS OF ANIMAL RESEARCH YIELDS INFORMATION THAT IS EITHER INEFFECTIVE OR HARMFUL WHEN APPLIED TO HUMANS Christopher Anderegg et al, Medical Research Modernization Committee, Europeans for Medical Progress, 2002, A Critical Look at Animal Experimentation, http://www.mrmcmed.org/critcv.html, In contrast to human clinical investigation, vivisection involves manipulations of artificially induced conditions. Furthermore, the highly unnatural laboratory environment invariably stresses the animals, and stress affects the entire organism by altering pulse, blood pressure, hormone levels, immunological activities, and myriad other functions.90,91 Indeed, many laboratory "discoveries" reflect mere laboratory artifact. For example, artifact from unnaturally induced strokes in animals has repeatedly misled researchers.9 In the 1980s researchers reported 25 compounds that reduce ischemic-stroke damage in nonhuman animals, but none proved effective in humans.96 Subsequently, agents showing efficacy in animals have been unhelpful or even hazardous for human patients.100,101 TURN - ANIMAL RESEARCH UNNECESSARY AND OFTEN COUNTEPRODUCTIVE Gary Francione, Professor of Law, Rutgers, 2004, Animal Rights: Current debates and new directions, eds. Sunstein & Nussbaum, p. 116 Although many regard the use of animals in experiments as involving a genuine conflict of human and animal interests, the necessity of animal use for this purpose is open to serious question as well. Considerable empirical evidence challenges the notion that animal experiments are necessary to ensure human health and indicates that, in many instances, reliance on animal models has actually been counterproductive.
Christopher Anderegg et al, Medical Research Modernization Committee, Europeans for Medical Progress, 2002, A Critical Look at Animal Experimentation, http://www.mrmcmed.org/critcv.html, Many other important medical advances have been delayed because of misleading information derived from animal "models." The animal model of polio, for example, resulted in a misunderstanding of the mechanism of infection. Studies on monkeys falsely indicated that poliovirus infects only the nervous system. This erroneous assumption resulted in misdirected preventive measures and delayed the development of tissue culture methodologies critical to the discovery of a vaccine.25,26 While monkey cell cultures were later used for vaccine production, it was research with human cell cultures which first showed that poliovirus could be cultivated on non-neural tissue.27 Similarly, development of surgery to replace clogged arteries with the patient's own veins was impeded by dog experiments which falsely indicated that veins could not be used.28 Likewise, kidney transplants, quickly rejected in healthy dogs, were accepted for a much longer time in human patients.29 We now know that kidney failure suppresses the immune system, which increases tolerance of foreign tissues.
