~1500 animals died at Neuralink, vast majority of them being rodents. These are not large numbers.

> These are not large numbers.

Only when compared to completely different industries, the most commonly cited being education or food.

When compared to its own industry, the numbers are still large.

Its own industry being medical research? Perhaps somewhat more important than eating meat or beauty products?

That article also mentions an ongoing federal investigation into the poor treatment of animals there.

It's a huge number for this sort of research. Huge.

This factcheck looks legitimate. “Over 280 sheep, pigs and monkeys” is unfortunately not very specific though.

It does show that the "3000 monkeys" claim is misinformation since the real number is over an order of magnitude less.

A single cancer drug from idea to FDA approval kills untold numbers of rodents and monkeys. Price we are willing to pay as humans.

Could you please not propagate fake news? There is high enough signal-to-noise ratio already on the internet.
