I am saying, overtly, that it is a stupid, nearsighted, moronic, policy.
Get it?
What if the purpose of the experiment is to kill the animal?
The policy makes no sense.
How does a researcher determine the farthest aspect of anything if they are worried that their grant will be taken away?
Obviously not a major science university.
