This is Wired, so nothing surprising. Could go after cosmetics companies, instead they target one that could help people walk, see, hear, again.
Or how about Fauci and his labs where they put dogs heads in boxes so sand flies could eat their faces alive, of course they cut the dogs vocal cords because listening to them screaming was hard on the "scientists", experiments they did to improves lives how exactly.....
How about the experiments where they literally tried to scare monkeys to death via induced heart attack, no doubt that has many useful applications to improve lives...
Or they could cover millions being spent on juicing hamsters up on steroids and making them fight in cage matches. Because science?
Countless examples they could have chosen from, just have a look at White Coat Waste Project - nitter.net/WhiteCoatWaste, of course if you google for that the first results is critical of WCW, quote "(WCW) Project, appear intent on casting scientists (the “white coats”) and the importance of their scientific work in a disparaging light".
This isn't about animals, this is political/establishment, which is expected since it's Wired. They've been establishment sock-puppets for years, going as far back as the persecution of Julian Assange if I remember right.
I'm sure it's, complete, coincidence that they're doing this now while their Federal Government targets and also sues Musk, for example suing him for not hiring criminal migrants but meanwhile Federal law prohibits him from hiring any non US citizen because rocket tech is restricted under national security.
Nothing but a hit piece by what has now long been a useless rag. Being regurgitated here on a site seemingly determined to loose the respect it once had.
