You know...
I live with pain , crippling pain some days, every day of my life. But I don't want scientists taking poor defenseless little animals from their natural habitat and torturing them to find a way to put an end to it. The part that REALLY pissed me off? "They're the nicest, sweetest animals I've ever worked with - they look frightening, but they're very gentle," said neurobiologist Thomas Park at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Scientists knew the mole rats were quite sensitive to touch - perhaps to help replace their almost useless eyes. After probing their skin, Park and his colleagues unexpectedly discovered the rodents lacked the chemical Substance P, which causes the feeling of burning pain in mammals. Yeah. I hope someone probes them and causes a feeling of burning pain.
