All these aspects of life on Moreau's island were witnessed by Edward Prendick, an English traveller who had become stranded on the island. While Moreau simply viewed these creatures as failed experiments, Montgomery pitied them and even took one called M'ling to be his personal servant. In order to keep them under control, Moreau established a series of laws that included a ban on eating flesh and various animalistic activities, such as clawing bark and sucking up water. He released these failures into the jungle, where they constructed a village to live in. Moreau continued trying to perfect his process, but the animal nature of his subjects kept returning to them. They acquired animals to experiment on from unscrupulous traders, including the captain of the ship Ipecacuanha. Moreau and Montgomery moved to a deserted island in the South Pacific where they resumed Moreau's experiments. Knowing that he faced exile or prison, Montgomery gladly went with Moreau. While leaving London, he recruited Montgomery, an alcoholic medical student who had killed a man in a drunken stupor to be his assistant. However, Moreau was forced to halt his experiences and leave London when a dog he had been operating on escaped from his lab and ran screaming into the streets. He chose the human form simply because he thought it would make an interesting challenge. Purely out of curiosity, he began experimenting with using vivisection as a means of restructuring animals into humans.
Moreau began his experiments when he was a respected surgeon living in London.
