  You would really hate to see the mouse house and depending labs of any research hospital then. The mice here are living a life of luxury by comparison. Yeah, yeah, I know you or someone else will come out against those practices as well; I would love to hear ideas for a replacement or a proposal to just stop science and progress all together.

    But that’s medical research. This is just a hobby project. It seems completely reasonable to object to using mammals in one’s tech projects, while admitting the value to using animal models to advance medical science.

    I don’t have a strong opinion for or against the use of rodents in science, but the tone of your comment was uncalled for, in response to someone simply expressing compassion for a living creature.
