I’ve spent my entire life around animals and I never thought about where blood transfusions come from. Granted most of my life animals lived or died and there was not the types of surgery available as there is now. But somehow one animal’s nonconsentual pain and suffering in exchange for another animal’s life seems really, really wrong. Damn, the things we are blind to.
