It's heartbreaking isn't it -that in the past, some people didn't think animals could feel pain!? It always makes me wonder why anyone would come to that conclusion. I often wonder if it was as a result of watching them give birth? Most animals give birth fairly silently, with maybe only a few slight sounds.
It could be that they are genetically-programmed to do that, as giving birth noisily in the wild could alert predators?
Anyway, it is good that nowadays there are a few good painkilling options for animals, post-surgically, and for many painful conditions.
