I know some people agree, while others don’t, but I really do find it so heartbreakingly sad when some animals spend their entire life shut in laboratories, never knowing a homelife or love.
They are there for a purpose, and nothing more.
I have just read today about the Scientists cutting off frogs legs to see if they can get them to regrow.
Yes, I do understand how it could be a God send to humans, like soldiers for example, who lose a limb in battle, but that does not stop me having empathy for the animals suffering though.
They cut their legs off, treat it stump with a cocktail of 5 drugs, then are finding that within 18 months, a leg has regrown.
Now a Professor in Massachusetts says - “We’ll be testing how this treatment could apply to mammals next.”
How can these people be so devoid of emotion, to be able to cut a dog or cat or sheep’s healthy leg off, purely as an experiment?
I honestly wouldn’t want that person coming home and curling up with me at night because I would be worried how his mind worked and why he lacked compassion. It would give me the willies, almost like sleeping with a murderer.
I know others won’t agree with me, but that is how I’d feel and can’t help that.
