From what the article says, the guillotine was dull. It sounds more like the researchers didn't like watching the animals suffer from a dull blade and instead used what they had to to make sure the death was as quick as they could. As for the expired anesthesia, that should be under a direct policy of the university. If they don't have a policy to track expiration dates of their lab solutions, then the university is 100% at fault and should have a deeper remediation than just saying "solved". They might be able to back it up, but they are in hot water until they do.

Yeah, but the water likely won't be sufficiently hot, given their total lack of standards thus far. Maybe they should test out the guillotine a bit first.
