That was the guy from the Oxford medical labs. Not related to the Uni, but yeah, he had a lot of guinea pigs and small mammals for lab tests (all kinds, not necessarily medicines).
I can see WHY animal rights activists protest about the use of mice and things for research, but it really bothers me that you never hear a peep about, you know the several million pound budget London has per annum solely dedicated to poisoning mice across the capital, or that pigeons and grey squirrels are pretty much required to be euthanised if bought in for vet treatment. Or that they have men employed to go about smashing birds eggs. If they really cared that much about saving animals lives, I think you'd hear about this, but no.
