Feeling of being subjected to unfair treatment
I'm looking for a word, but I cannot for the life of me find it. All I can remember is the definition: the feeling of being subjected to unfair treatment (but you aren't actually, it just feels that way)
I remember watching a video on Youtube of a vet taking care of a wild animal, and the animal was very vocal and wiggling about, and the vet commented using the word that I'm trying to find; saying that it was probably feeling like "this is unfair! let me go!" even though he was just trying to help.
I'm sorry if this is confusing, but it's all I can't think about lately, so if anyone could help, thank you in advance. Even a list of possible words might be helpful as well, if that's not too much work. I will surely never forget this word after this.

One appropriate adjective is indignant, or feeling or showing anger or annoyance at what is perceived as unfair treatment. See also the synonyms, e.g., ornery or cantankerous, although these capture only the general irritable behavior and not the specific cause.

"Feeling persecuted" may fit the bill. The animal in your example thinks that the vet intends to cause it harm or it is worried that it will be harmed.
