Answer 1

Ever since she was in high school, Tamille has been deeply committed to her belief that animal testing in all forms is wrong. One day she gets into a debate about this topic with her classmate Carissa, a strong proponent of animal testing, and she finds herself getting angry and emotional during the conversation.

Tamille believes that animal testing by pharmaceutical companies, among other industries, is extremely wrong, cruel and without plausible justification. Shee has such a strong belief that this belief is rooted in his personality, so she felt personally attacked when her friend began to disagree that animal testing was not correct.
