I do not think people realize how many lab mice a sacrificed atthe alter of science on a daily basis. All most any hospital or clinic that has a decent research lab may even keep thier own mice. Thousand of mice are used daily just for harvesting antibodies from them. And when I say harvesting I mean killing. Mainly mice are used but rat, pig, dog, and rabbit are used as well but not as common. If this was forbidden medical science as we know it today would cease to exist. Check out any biomedical catalog that supplies reagents.
