Yes, it was for his own good. Animals don't remember that they have pins in their body when you put them in, and will run around and break that part of their body further. As humans, we remember we have pins in our body and can imagine the idea of the pins driving themselves into our bones/tissues, so we don't run around and move long distances with them in.
