    :(

    I know animal testing is a necessary evil to make medicine for both humans and animals/pets, but damn that’s brutal.

    Hope they live out their cheese filled rat dreams in the afterlife.

      Yeah, there was one day I had a cohort of 50 animals that need to be harvested. Halfway through I had to take a break to throw up, and powering through to finish the rest of the group just had me dry heaving the entire time. I’m a Buddhist, I had not signed up for that originally, but sometimes the research leads places you didn’t expect to go. Finishing my postdoc and leaving that research was a happy day for me.
