I watched a programme on dreams a few years back, and they showed a clip of an experiment where they circumvented part of a cat's brain. They posited that there is an inhibitor that stops mammals from acting out their dreams. They found it in cats, and the clip showed a moggy wandering about while sleeping.
It was awful; part of the skull was missing and wires attached to its brain.
I don't honestly know how I feel about animal testing, because if my brother (for example) had something that could kill or cure him, I'd rather it had been tested on an animal first. A scapegoat, if you will, or Julia.
But even though I eat animals I try my best not to waste them. And at least the lives of edible animals are governed by humane laws, and usually quite short.
