>>13744497I agree on both counts, but if we develop a brand new chemical, I'd personally rather test it on a mouse first to make sure it doesn't cause Krokodil symptoms. Plus, some things like prosthetics that require implants to function should first be tested on simpler organisms for practical reasons. Drowning mice in OP's fashion doesn't pass any of my personal requirements for humaneness nor usefulness.
