I would go further than this...
I've studied zoology. You are literally taught to ignore your ethical misgivings, about live animal experimentation, and treat your experimental animals as "disposable"...
I'm not sure that people who haven't been exposed to that environment quite get it... And it's even worse for Med students, for whom... Live vertebrate experimentation is EVEN MORE common...
The university "environment", at least in STEM, teaches you that the ends ALWAYS justify the means, and "animals are suffering and dying in factory farms anyway, so WHO CARES what we do to a few domesticated specimens?"
It's really, really bad. From experience.
You either burn out, or you become an emotionless drone, who doesn't even think about the consequences of what you are doing for the poor sentient beings you are experimenting on... :-(
I completed undergrad and med school and never participated in a lab with live animals.
I dissected dead frogs and sharks and fetal pigs.
I dissected a few human cadavers.
Never came across anything alive or unethical.
Lol
Sad representation of our sick society as a whole as well.
