Ethical Squirming

This was one painful bit of reading. More painful, no doubt for the mice.

Dr Ned Buyukmihci, of the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection, said: “This study was not intended to improve or positively impact on the welfare of mice ... rather just to find a new way of determining if a mouse is showing pain.”

Time to go rethink vegetarianism. (No I do not eat mice knowingly so this is not an entirely consistent response.)
