Monday, August 19, 2002The Home Office said it was taking "infringement action" against Cambridge University researchers who injected mice with the stimulant methamphetamine and subjected them to loud music, including tracks by dance act The Prodigy. Several mice died and others suffered brain damage in the experiment, whose results were published in the journal NeuroReport last year. Animal-rights activists condemned the experiment. The British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection called it "tasteless and horrific." I thought that experimental mice were generally sacrificed as a part of the experimental routine, so I'm not sure if the fuss is over the fact that some of the mice died or whether it's about torturing them with bad music. (Note: Ignore the post just below this. I forgot to put in a quotation mark and fouled things up so badly I can't get blogger to edit it and delete it, so it just has to stand as a testament to my mistake.) posted by Sydney on 8/19/2002 01:20:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
