I am not opposed to animal testing in general. I recognize its necessity and I'm not interested in debating the moral agency of bunny rabbits or mice. I'd like to diminish suffering as much as possible but with the current level of technology there are some tests that are only viable on things bigger than a bacterium.
But I can't help thinking, every time I walk past this building, how some of my characters would react to the knowledge of what would go on inside here. The two strongest ones are P'nyssa and Bambi, one because she's telepathic, the other because she's distantly related to the victims. This cheerful, bright blue building on the waterfront is where the University of Washington Medical Center does its animal testing on medical technologies and drugs, which is why the place is plastered with security cameras, the glass is bankglass, and there are no loitering and no trespassing signs everywhere.
