  Er, yes but also this…

  Make injections and decapitation quicker and easier with Braintree Scientific’s DecapiCones. Tapered plastic film tubes provide quick and easy restraint of rats, mice, and other small animals. I.P. injections can be made directly through the film! DecapiCones restrain post-decapitation kicking and prevent personal contact with feces or urine. A unique dispenser holds DecapiCones open and ready for use. Simply hold the DecapiCone in one hand and introduce the animal with the other. Animals enter readily, heading for the breathing hole at the small end. Roll and squeeze the large end closed. They may be used repeatedly for injections and simply discarded when soiled. For decapitation, hold at the rear and insert the small end into the decapitator.

  They come in quantities of 200, in handy pre-loaded dispensers.

    Can’t believe that name. Wow.

      Yeah, although maybe it’s good that they’re straightforward? No euphemisms, no pretense.

      They’re used together with an implement simply called the decapitator. At this point there’s no need to mince words 😅

      Lol I love how it says "considered one of the more humane ways to sacrifice laboratory rodents. Who are they sacrificing them to? The great God of science?

        That’s what it’s called when it’s inhumane to let them live after an experiment.

        Certain rats have incredibly elevated chances of growing tumors, for example. Letting them grow old is basically torture, so…

        I instinctively read “considered one of the more humane ways to sacrifice laboratory students”

        Yeah, because it’s fast and little pain can be felt before its dead. Guillotines were developed to be a more humane execution for people.

        “Physical methods” (Guillotine, cardiac puncture, thoracotomy, etc) are usually a secondary confirmation of death after lethal ketamine/xylazine cocktail injection, isofluorane, or CO2 inhalation.

        And yeah we’re sacrificing them to the science god to try and make new discoveries and new therapies. We’re also trying to develop ways to avoid using organisms such as organ on a chip or multiple organ on a chip systems but thats expensive af and not yet sufficient quality to replace organism testing.

      I was going to say, I have a similar madame guillotine at home but mine is for the paper.

    Man, my oldest kiddo is going into neuroscience, there are paid internship opportunities, which is awesome but I worry she’ll end up using something like these to snuff mice all day. I don’t think I could do that job.
