Outraged at this, I just ate a Big Mac. It was delicious, spite-filled, and I was not even hungry. I filled out zero paperwork. Could one have an exterminator's license and eliminate pesty lab mice via glioblastomas? I'd expect it would be more environmentally sound than typical chemical pest solutions (that may encourage human glioblastomas in the first place).

So true. The food industry seems to have few comparative regulations regarding animal suffering. I imagine the pest control industry is similar. There is something ironic about such strong controls on research aimed at improving human health.
