Using Sniffer Rats to Detect Tuberculosis

i thought that it should b made clear.....

THIS IS ANIMAL TESTING AT IT'S BEST.....
AND SHOULD BE THE ONLY WAY TO TEST ANIMALS..........THIS IS WHY HUMANS STARTED TRAINING ANIMALS IN THE FIRST PLACE, THEREFORE IT SHOULD NOT BE FROWNED UPON......

GOOD JOB GUYS........I'M CERTAIN THAT ONE DAY YOUR RESEARCH WILL SAVE LIVES........AND PERHAPS(with any luck) EVEN PUT AN END TO THIS HORRIBLE DISEASE!!!!

Simply put this is research that is very likely to save lives. In fact rat training has already saved countless lives in detecting landmines.

reason its so big is its a pouch rat not a regular rat they get to the size of cats lol

that is one big fucking rat!

Wow. This is amazing. I had a pet rat for a while--they are such smart animals, so trainable, so sociable. This is such a brilliant idea. Congratulations.

Impressive. Whomever came up with the idea of using rats for de-mining and detecting TB deserves some sort of accolade - I used to keep rats, and I was aware they are extremely intelligent and very trainable, but this...wow.

You people are heroes to me. I am very proud of what you have accomplished. I will try to convince my school to adopt a few of your darlings so you are able to safe more lives. Every life is precious. Big kiss from Martin in China.
