  Yes, if there is no need to collect tissues or anything

    I’m guessing those infected or mutated in ways harmful aren’t allowed?

      Usually, if the mouse is infected or mutated in a given manner, its innards would need to be removed and studied, to determine what effects the mutation/infection had on them. This kills the mouse.

        This kills the mouse.

        Couldn’t they just put them back?

      I mean, in my opinion skinny pigs have been mutated in a harmful way, just not as a result of whatever tests they were subjected to. But if you have a pet scrotum, you can knit it little sweaters so it isn’t constantly shivering

      My sister did, you just need approval from some government offices so you don’t get mice that’ve had rabies-ebola-smallpox-anthrax tested on them getting out

      Im in the EU, and quite a few of the biology students had labrats as pets.

        Oh shit forreal? I used to work in the NL and there it wasn’t allowed. You couldn’t even had rodents as pets because the possible dangers of contamination. I thought it was an EU thing actually, but maybe it’s just NL

  Depending on the study, yes.
