Well colour me corrected, I would have assumed they'd let their rats live out the rest of the lives peacefully but I suppose not. Pretty fucked up then.

Not your fault that the world of animal testing is irredeemably fucked even if this one particular experiment happens to bring rats an immense amount of joy before their lives are unceremoniously ended to study their brains that will probably end up being used by a marketing firm in 2027 to sell funkopops or something!
