Rescue dogs from testing places are the saddest animals you’ll ever see, and paint a picture of how evil humans can be all in the name of “science”, or worse, “profit”.
Puppies who couldn’t walk right on carpet or grass because they had always been on a hard surface, or would cower from a pet because they never got contact at all… at least the ones that get out have some chance of a life worth living once they get past the trauma. They’re the lucky ones.
Eventually they would likely resume trying to escape the shocks, but I do not support researching this. However, related studies show spontaneous recovery of responding once extinction is no longer in effect.
Well no, only if there is nothing it can do to escape the torture…
Yes, but then they opened the exit after the dogs were demoralized, and they wouldn’t escape to save themselves.
