The inner transparent eyelid that the rabbits have (thanks for the updated comment with info) probably makes the (insert curse word here) testing even worse!!! :( I either remembered incorrectly or the info I read way back when was totally wrong, but I know it had to do with their eyelids in connection to the *tests*.Krissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-8690555152931920742010-12-05T06:51:34.259-06:002010-12-05T06:51:34.259-06:00Thanks Krissa for your follow-up comment. What you...Thanks Krissa for your follow-up comment. What you may have read about eyelids probably had to do with what is called a third eyelid or the nictitating membrane. This is an eyelid that is transparent and exists in full or vestigial form in many birds and other animals. This allows protection and moisturizing of the eye without losing vision.<br /><br />Rabbits have a full transparent eyelid (in veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-16706968718959375622010-12-05T06:39:33.649-06:002010-12-05T06:39:33.649-06:00Thank you for commenting Christina...the "gre...Thank you for commenting Christina...the "great whites" and the "great blacks" are among my favorites....but all the bunnies are terrific beings.veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-49515083538051511252010-12-05T01:52:20.769-06:002010-12-05T01:52:20.769-06:00I totally agree that humans should only test on ou...I totally agree that humans should only test on our own if we are going to do those stupid, unnecessary tests.

Rabbits do have eyelids, I have seen several "reasons" given why rabbits are used for these tests....I suspicion it all comes down to money...rabbits can be obtained fairly cheaply. Humans ought to test on themselves if they want to find out the impact of something...leave the other animals out of it.
