From an Animal Perspective

  I want to live a "normal" life, just like you humans. We are treated as if we were born to be experimented, even though we were not born of our own choice. Since we can't speak, we can't communicate our thoughts to the people conducting the experiments. To tell the truth, I don't like pain and I don't want to be kept locked in a lab forever. I want to be free to go where I want and eat what I want. And yet, I'm always fighting the fear of dying at any moment for the sake of humans.

  But if we can help humans, then I feel that all the hard work we have done in the laboratory has not been wasted. If we are destined to be used for research anyway, it seems better that we are rewarded by being useful to someone or something. 

  But still, I don't want to be a victim of violence, and I can't stand to see my friends suffering next to me. We know that our experiments have benefited many humans, but we are not their "instruments.” I always hope that other methods will become more popular and that fewer animals will be harmed by animal testing.
