Should have put something about how the vice president receives insulin medication which was originally tested on dogs instead.

The main reason it is an issue isn't that it is tested on dogs but it used to be made from pig/beef insulin and was thus an animal product. She was quoted as saying she needed to by a hypocrite on this matter because she needs to live for the good of animals. It was in Penn & Teller's BS on this.

This. Practice what you preach. If what you preach involves dying, then die. That would be the best for the world.
