Question: hi! do the mice die from the experiments?

Hi there, yes unfortunately I usually have to sacrifice the mice at the end of the experiments, (I hope you dont think I’m a monster!) but this is because we have to see what has happend in their brains after the tests. Like butchers or fishermen, we need the animals and are trained how to treat them the best way possible. There are plenty of strict laws in place in the EU that control what scientists can and cant do, and make sure that the animals are free from suffering during the experiments.
