RECOGNISE
ANIMALS AS
SENTIENT BEINGS, THOUGH
PARADOXICALLY, THIS OFTEN EXPOSES
THE ANIMALS TO RATHER UNPLEASANT LABORATORYTESTS! [...]
SCEPTICS COULD OBJECT THAT THIS "SHAREHOLDERSJACKPOTSYSTEM"
NEEDLESSLY HUMANISES RATS.[...] Rats do experience neither hope nor despair:
sometimes rats move quickly & sometimes they stand still, but they never feel anything;
they are driven only by non-conscious algorithms. Psychiatric drugs are aimed to induce changes
not just in human behaviour, but above all in human feeling! When customers go to a psychiatrist & say,
'Doctor, give me something that will lift me out of this depression,' they don't want some mechanical stimulant
that will cause them to flail about while still feeling blue? They want to féél cheerful!
Conducting experiments on rats a.s.o. can help corporations develop such a magic pill
only if they presuppose that rat behaviour is also accompanied by human-like
emotions. And indeed, this is a common
presupposition in psychiatric
laboratories. [...] And what
about self-conscious
chimpansees?
