They had to create dogs with MD to perform this study. These monsters should never feel safe, not for one minute of their lives.

It's just another form of animal testing. If you've ever used any type of pharmaceutical you've benefited from it and incentivized it.
Years ago I read somewhere that they were trying to create animals without brains so they could be experimented on without causing suffering. I can't find an article on it now though.

There are currently computer simulations and alternative methods that do not entail wrongful imprisonment, torture and death for non humans. The expense of switching over the laboratories isn't something that big pharma will do without being legally forced.

Fuck that, it is needed. When this is done, no more people will suffer from this. And people are much more important than any animal.

People are animals.
