In one of my moments of "complaining about life as a human" when I was young (and ignorant), I told my brother about how easy things would be if I were an animal; no school, work, money or relationship problems etc.
My brother gave me a simple enough answer in reply, that is all animals would eventually die of a painful death, either through disease, or by being killed
I don't think I've ever complained about being a human again after that. It's fantastic to be born a human in fact seeing that we've been blessed with the mental, physical and emotional capacity to protect and care for all living creatures on earth
I believe that you will succeed in finishing your animal studies, and my hugs goes out to every living being on this planet~~
