It's the sheer number of them...
I hit my limit. After a passive method, and so many of them, I am needing something stronger than 2 hard alcoholic beverages... Something like Vici or a percoset...
As you move up in your field, and review possibly "Lab Animal Medicine", you will find that the duty of the vet is to ensure optimal care of all "research animals". What you find is most folks are clueless as to how to plan for experiments with animal models. They basically breed several cages together, thereby generating 100's of animals that go unused. And because animal costs are high, we wind up euthanizing them...
My personally thoughts are every animal generated needs to be used in research protocols--or most of them. And because we take US Taxpayer funds to finance this research, then it behooves us to make the most of these animal models completely... Well, that is not happening at my institution. Dare I say most of them.
So 100's or 1000's of unusable animal models are resigned to a dubious fate...
Just thinking about it will cause me nightmares... This is outside my character... And if I stay on it, I will get pissed.
