The government convicted Michael Vick after they found out what happened to his dogs. Same government turning a blind eye to Elon's monkeys and giving him a green light to experiment on humans. Elon playing through capitalism in god mode RN.
There's an explicit law against dogfighting though.
What are you trying to say, law enforcement would take down Elon's lab if only there were laws against animal abuse?
It can be legal to do medical or biological research that is painful, kills the animal, paralyzes the animal, makes it die of cancer, etc.
You need to get the correct permits and approvals and then it's legal (I once worked in a lab that among other things killed mice and put their brains in a blender ... it was legal, but I didn't last long in bio after that).
There's no IRB system, there's no NIH standards, there are no BSL criteria, that permit dogfighting.
I can be aghast at the Neuralink outcomes without feeling sorry for Mike Vick. And I don't.
I think you get me wrong. I don't feel sorry for Michael Vick. I just think this is more proof how money infects our regulatory system.
Look at food regulation. I've seen regulators shut down and jail independent operations for white glove violations. But look how major suppliers and food chains are treated when their contaminated food sends people to the hospital where some die.
