“Then may I take it there are a great number of experiments which,
supposing a frog to be a sensitive animal, must cause a vast deal of
pain, which are not done under chloroform?--There is no doubt of it. And
there is no precaution taken to diminish pain, if it suffers pain?--I
think I may say no special precaution.”--_Evid. Roy. Com._, Q. 3,801-2.

“In Professor Schiff’s work, almost every lecture is accompanied by the
sacrifice of some animal; 700 a year, it is stated, thus perish (1343).
Calls attention to a discrepancy between two statements of Professor
Schiff: one stating that the dogs made no noise because they were not
in pain; the other stating that their nerves of vocalisation had been
cut “pour les empêcher.… de discréditer ainsi les études physiologiques
auprês des habitants du quartier” (1287).”--_Digest Ev. Roy. Com._, p. 11.
“A number of rabbits were deprived of food until they ate dead frogs
thrown into their hutch. The object of this experiment was to show that
herbivorous animals could live on animal food (See Schiff, _Physiologie
de la Digestive_, Vol. I., p. 67). What use this information may be put
to I leave to the judgment of unbiassed minds to determine. I know that
the rabbits suffered very much before they were induced to eat the dead
frogs.”--_Evid. Roy. Com._, Q. 4,888, p. 244.
