New research isn't necessary, just a look at the logic in the cited "research". That's what I am pointing out, that co-incidence is not causation especially in stupidly selected study groups.
And "consent" is 100%, beyond a shadow of a doubt, absolutely a red herring. If an animal is property, consent doesn't exist (and it doesn't for any other aspect of the animal's life). If consent is required for any aspect of the animal's life, it is required for all (where will that lead?).
The only standard is unnecessary pain. And the legal standard for criminal prosecution is "beyond a reasonable doubt." Please tell me how to reconcile those two.
