Neuralink under federal investigation over animal welfare issues

Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink Corp. is under federal investigation for allegedly violating the Animal Welfare Act amid staff complaints its animal testing is being rushed, Reuters reported.

The probe was opened in recent months by the US Department of Agriculture’s Inspector General at the request of a federal prosecutor, Reuters said, citing people familiar with the investigation and company operations.

^^^ Mice people generally overlook, it's the larger animals raising eyebrows. From the article:

Records indicate that since 2018, the company has killed almost 1,500 animals, including more than 280 sheep, pigs, and monkeys. Because the company does not keep precise statistics on the number of animals tested and killed, the sources described that number as an approximate estimate.

Also lol at not keeping precise stats on the animals tested and killed. This sounds like bs reporting or bs from neuralink. Someone is spinning nonsense.
