Despite all my rage
Despite all my nag*
This image fills my heart with dread :[
This reminds me of when a lab technician explained to me what happens to all the mice at the end of the experiment. 😭
In my country, for a vet to pass classes, they need to put a rat in anesthesia. Those rats are all the same weight and age. I’ve adopted 3 once. They’re amazing pets but only live for up to 3 years

It ain't easy being tapered.
Fuck all animal testing and every scientist participating in it.
What's wrong with thalidomide? We can just put the shelves lower!

pocong rat
Piping hot rat.
Its probably not a good way to transport them because that looks very stressful but it probably keeps them warm so it might be better than a metal cage.
It’s a decapi-cone… for euthanasia (sorry)
Can also be used for blood collection tho
Apply directly to the cake
I'm not going to yuck Remmy's yum.
Does anyone remember bonsai-kitty?
Does this hurt the rat?
The action of putting them in the tube doesn't. However, this is a rat used for testing of some kind so it will be hurt at some point

I am going to hypothesize here: depends on how long rat's in the tube.
I'm imagining a scenario where a vet has to X-ray a pet rat. Rat goes in the tube for 5 minutes while images are taken and then Rat can come back out of the tube. Rat's probably going to be okay. A treat may be in order.
If he had to stay in there for a month, I don't think he'll ever be a normal rat again.
Eventually yes
