In 2007, the National Academy of Sciences published a report calling on the Environmental Protection Agency to make a fundamental shift in its toxicity testing strategies away from testing on mammals and focusing increasingly on new, more accurate—not to mention, more ethical—in vitro toxicity testing.

They're not necessarily questioning the ethics, but the efficacy. Many animal supporters get caught up in fighting the food industry, but animal testing is as ugly and fundamental an issue.

For that reason, a bluff is generally considered ethical, whereas a flat-out lie is not. Test the water and make sure you can walk back from the bluff if you’re called out on it. For example, if you’re trying to negotiate a price, then both parties have the opportunity to bluff. Start by integrating the technique in small ways.

The vets I work with agree that testing an animal's glucose level via urine strips is not effective, as you have no idea how long the drops of urine you are testing have been in the bladder. My experience, because I test frequently, was relatively uneventful. And my transition, because I tested frequently, was also uneventful.
