More than 175 [lab mice] were found dead, and the city took possession of the remaining animals in April and euthanized 773.

I hope the checked in with the CDC before they did that. Nothing of concern was found this time, but taking lab mice from an illegal biochemical situation could be dangerous.

I'm totally sure you thought of something that groups of professionals didn't.

Aw cute, you still believe that the system works.

I merely pointed out that some random person in a comment section doesn't outweigh the knowledge of people who do it for a living.

Your comment is just douchey bullshit.

Douchey bullshit because yours has the same tone. I work with various government systems; they're held together by tape and hopes, and I know this because I'm one of the people tasked with using said tape.

There may very well be protocols in place for this kind of thing, but protocols are rarely adhered to very firmly, because everyone believes that someone has a clue of what they're doing.

Both of your comments are tbh. I don't get the sarcasm out of the blue, it just ends up fuelling a nonsense feud.

doesn’t outweigh the knowledge of people

Rather, you suggested the people were infallible and beyond reproach... Those aren't the same things. Oversights happen. Mistakes are made.
