      No, I don’t, and nowadays to be able to do this, there are many ethical issues that you need to follow before any type of experiment with animals, even only to observe how they behave you have to follow a set of procedures respecting a number of ethical issues.

      I personally do not.
      Scientist developing new medicines or new treatments for illnesses will experiment on animals before they will run the experiments on humans. The scientist will try their absolute best to avoid the animals from suffering. Before they experiment on animals they will have run extensive lab tests.
