Question: do any of your mice that you are testing on ever die ??

They all die eventually unfortunately- mice only live about 12 months. But they never die because of the experiments I perform on them because the mice are perfectly happy and it does not hurt them. Working with animals in research is highly regulated and we are constantly monitored by the government and the vets that look after the mice. It is a very difficult subject to talk about but I think that if everyone knew the truth about animal testing, their opinions might be very different
