Years ago before I was a therapist, a student approached me casually and told me that she was feeling badly because she had to kill pregnant bunnie rabbits and abort the fetus for studies. She was concerned because she was bothered by this. I told her that when it stops bothering her, is when she should get worried. Another person I knew also a Psychology student at a Masters level was walking her dog and of course I marvelled at the little beast. She told me that the dog had been used for experiments and after they were done, one of the students was to euthenize the dog and dispose of her. However, the student stitched up the dog and sneaked her out of the lab and hence the pleasant dog I was now seeing. There are strict rules in how animals are to be treated in experiments. Is it being done? These are just two shared stories. There are many more. That Doug Ford is going to stop these experiments, are going to get a rise out of the people who are in charge of these experiments and those who support them. They will try to get around the system. It should prove to be interesting. Thank you Doug for doing this. This will stop a lot of suffering. It will perhaps make us aware of the importance of compassion and empathy. In the previous blog I have cut and pasted an article from the globe and mail. I also pasted it on Facebook which can be seen more clearly.
