It just hit me what these creatures go through..its pretty cruel..I just got to the stage where I can eat meat again, because I know the cows are happy and never see the end coming..
now I'm beginning to wonder if the same consideration is given to the mental lives of rats..with the same sensitivity about meat eating creeping into my head about whether the drugs I take were designed with the maximum consideration to the design of experiments that minimize the discomfort of rats by breeding lines of creatures resistant to pain so the resultant cancers don't hurt them etc etc......
we would rather pay more to make sure this was the case...
would'nt we ?
