    Who said to kill animals just for this purpose? That would be irresponsible and incredibly asshole

    The industry is already dumping too much animal blood as a waste, just take a small drop from something that otherwise goes in wastewater anyway

      We need to stop using animals. Not extend it. I mean I really don’t get what’s so hard about testing if a product works on humans in the real scenario.
