In the time it took you to read that article about 20 Rhesus monkeys who will be cared for in the most humane way possible given the study parameters, roughly 1000 pigs and 300 cows were slaughtered in the USA, many living in ghastly conditions. The Rhesus monkeys will perish so that we can improve treatment for millions of people suffering from anxiety and depression. The cows and pigs died so you can eat a bacon cheeseburger.
I'm not a vegetarian, because bacon cheeseburgers are delicious, but I don't understand why we insist on being so morally inconsistent.
