Suppose the only way to save those 10,000 people was to experiment on one mentally-challenged orphan. If saving people is the goal, wouldn't that be worth it? Most people will agree that it is wrong to sacrifice one human for the "greater good" of others because it would violate that individual’s rights. But when it comes to sacrificing animals, the assumption is that human beings have rights while animals do not. Yet there is no logical reason to deny animals the same rights that protect individual humans from being sacrificed for the common good.

I'll be the first to tell you EXTREMLY sharp hooks do hurt (dull ones are even worse)! I have several scares to prove it. It's gota end somewhere.....

When a fish gets one of my hooks in it's mouth it not only hurts but it is also almost always fatal.
