So, back in the 1980s, biologists looked into bird nesting behavior and seemingly showed that some birds put certain plants into their nests in order to reduce the parasite load they might otherwise suffer, especially in nesting sites that were repeatedly reused.

We all thought the kindest approach would be to end her suffering, but then…she raised her head and looked directly at me. We medicated her for maggots, picked at least 100,000 of the creepy critters from her abdomen, and finally treated the injury. An area on her abdomen the size and shape of a pie pan was open.

For Engber, who dispassionately describes procedures most of the time, the "advances" in the medical care of humans are all well worth what he and other vivisectionists do to dogs and other sentient nonhumans. Medical schools, in particular, made ample use of them for education and research in surgery and cardiology." And for what?

One is Tylenol (the human pain medication) — a completely selective feral-cat poison. Pretty standard. He also quoted a biologist pointing out how extreme the TNR people are and gave a few examples.

Now, any medication we take and surgical procedures we undergo also have a long line of breeding, enslavement, torture and killing of sentient nonhumans leading up to them, so objecting to "knockout animals" on those grounds is to stand on somewhat thin ice. In other words, the perception of pain is affected.

They have the best food money can buy, climate-controlled shelter, comfortable bedding, ample exercise, liberty to move about, toys to play with, and medical care (including control of parasites). How many are suffering for lack of food, fuel, shelter, clothing, or medical care? Some, such as my niece's Tag, are utterly spoiled.
