Lab Rodents and Tumors


I just heard a veterinarian (Dr Pol) on TV the other night say that rodents are prone to tumors and have a short lifespan. Hmmm... 
 
After hearing this, I had an epiphany which made me wonder if the tumors produced in a lab was just their genetic situation anyway and the labs (and others) were capitalizing on it for selfish gain and/or fear mongering. 

Not like that would ever happen. Hmmm ... 


Excerpt from above website: Along with respiratory infections, tumors are one of the most common health problems and causes of death in rats, especially in females.
