The problem with experiments has always been that human beings make the decisions on whether or not the animals have benefitted from the treatment.
Man's unique reward, however, is that while animals survive by adjusting themselves to their background, man survives by adjusting his background to himself.
When man learns to understand and control his own behavior as well as he is learning to understand and control the behavior of crop plants and domestic animals, he may be justified in believing that he has become civilized.

Grissom comes from a place where we know he had a deaf mother, he was raised in a silent household, on some level, had a father who potentially was not around and he learned what he knew by himself in the back yard, with bugs and animals.

Working on behalf of companion animals is so important. We start to realize how healing they are.
Nothing can be more obvious than that all animals were created solely and exclusively for the use of man.
