You did what? To a Naked Moll Rat?

Every now and then when I scan the news a story make me a little uncomfortable. Like this on Yahoo news about a Naked Moll Rat that is resistant to pain.

First of all, where do you even find Naked Moll Rat? So they find this poor naked, cold blooded creature and then what do they decided to do with it? They decide to determine it's pain levels. Doesn't this poor creature have enough problems?

They took him out of his "oxygen starved burrow" in East Africa and threw acid on him. They are hailing this as a big break through for blocking pain in humans.

I'm just saying that is not cool to go after Naked Moll Rats, that's all.

Perhaps he now has a career ahead of him in corporate America, as a punching bag. Or maybe as a "worry moll rat" to some frazzled mommy. He should look into it.
