Oh come on, cut the nonsense
No animal can give consent. Hell, no human could give consent if they didn't speak the same language as you.
Given the option to be killed or getting a scratch to take a sample of cells, you don't think any animal would chose the latter? That is, of course, if animals could understand that concept even.
Look, there is doing the right thing and there is just pretending to do so. This, of applicable to all animals, would be a huge leap forward. Factory farming without the abuse of sentient beings is enormous for animal rights and treatment. We could stop pulling the seas empty, no more tortuous slaughter houses...
But here you are "but the animals didn't consent to a needle prick, it's bad!"
Found the consequentialist.
