The first time I saw an animal operated on was during my highschool days. Although am not a science student but that particular day we all were peeping from outside the lab since it was a transparent window and wide enough. I did enjoy watching the whole process but again I was tensed because I wanted the rabbit to survive and of course it survived after the surgery was finalized and completely recovered fully.
Just two days ago I came across a post on social media where a man killed his dog to prepare as meat which he posted it and the comment session was on fire. 🤣 For those who eat dog meat saw it as nothing while others said it was disgusting. I remember reading a particular woman's comment saying if the man was to be her dad she would be scared of him cause what he did was inhuman and that he could hurt her too. Again someone was telling a story of how his friend traveled out of the country, his neighbor over there has a goat as a pet. Jokingly he was telling his neighbor he loves eating goat meat and the next day a restriction letter was handed over to him to Keep off her house.
Have not just heard of people falling in love with animals but have seen one. Animals have feelings this we all can agree about and I possibly think what they need is more love and care. We humans too are special creatures hence we are above animals all round. It would hurt more when one loses a human compared to when an animal died cause truth be told the love differs.
Although we love this animals and want to protect them but what can we do when it has to do with human lives as well. I so much know that we would opt for another if there was any but for now that science is yet to finally come up with any, animals are the best pick. This isn't fair but we don't have a choice. For example practicing meds students will need to practice on something to be certain they are doing the right thing cause hell no they can't be taught orally and be allowed into the theater room to operate on a human without any certainty and we definitely know the end point can be disastrous that's why animals life has to go for it not because we like it but because it is the only option we have. Moreover animals are the closest to man that's why.
If in the future there is a better option to test drugs, carry out one experiment and the other, I am optimistic that scientists would come up with it but for the time being this is the saddest reality we have to live with and accept.
