I was once being considered for a position at Astra Zenica up north in Cheshire a few years ago. I got to the interview stage and was asked if I'd be comfortable working in a place where animal tests were carried out. I ermmed and arghhed and said that it could be acceptable in extreme cases but I think the rather disjointed nature of my reply didn't impress them and I wasn't offered the position, even though my interview was otherwise flawless. I can always tell when I've done well in an interview and I can say hand on heart that I did well in that particular one except for the response I gave to the query on animal testing. I have to say that now I would never consider a contract for any establishment that engages in the practice of animal testing no matter what the reason because I no longer think the end justifies the means under any circumstances.

Just to add some levity into the discussion, I'd like to add that I did once, however, work on a good Frankie Vaughan site whilst working as a permie a few years ago. No quibbles there about any ethical issues LOL!

So if you were diagnosed with cancer and told that the Chemo needed to treat it had been tested on animals I presume therefore you would refuse treatment?

I realised fairly early on that you and I were in fact the only sane people.

I was asked the same question in an AZ interview, I advised that 'for the right rate I will hold them down for you', I got the job...
Ethically, there is a big difference between animal work done to develop safe medecine targetting illnesses affecting millions and that done to get a new shampoo - no, you aren't worth it.
Would need to know details of the client but if it's legal, I am likely to take the gig.

You have made my day!

And owe me a keyboard...
