    Yes, animal testing in science leads to “gruesome” animal deaths. The alternative is human testing. What would you prefer?

    This whole story is an absolute beat up.

      Animal testing need not be gruesome - and indeed must not be according to most IACUCs and IRB approvals.

      Typically, minimizing animal suffering and humane procedures for determining when and how to euthanize animals is typically a big part of getting sign off for this kind of thing.

      Given that it’s the SEC being asked to investigate, it’s not so much that the monkeys died gruesomely, but that Musk may have lied about it.
