I interviewed a few people on their thoughts about animal creulty. Hunter Arthur said that she thinks that it should be stopped, and that it should be replaced by some other sort of testing if that is the form of testing that is used, because animals are also creatures. She had a personal story that she was nice enough to share with me. When she adopted her dog, she had been abused and abandoned on the side of the road. She was skiddish about everything, and is constantly hiding behind furniture and under beds, to this day. If you start to pet her, she is skiddish and does't like it, almost as if she is expectign to be hit. whenever their maintenance guy comes to their house, he has to take off his hat, and this is because she acts agressive against him. This is a definite sign that the person who abused her was wearing a hat, and she is able to identify that. Dogs can trust only so much, once that trust is broken, then it is hard to obtain it again.
