I don't care if they're supposedly working for altruistic purposes (they're not, but that's another story), they are allowing animals to suffer through negligent care separate from the excruciating experiments they must still undergo. The improperly euthanized animals remained alive but were discarded as if they were dead.

Another nasty farm animal abuse story. Bottom line: If you’re running a business where you allow the kinds of shortcuts that let animal abuse happen, please sell it and leave the industry now. If you’re caught by PETA or HSUS, please do not plead ignorance and vow to clean it up. Overlooked this one. Find another line of work.
