    Oh shit forreal? I used to work in the NL and there it wasn’t allowed. You couldn’t even had rodents as pets because the possible dangers of contamination. I thought it was an EU thing actually, but maybe it’s just NL.

    Edit: not necessarily and EU thing but animal/test dependent actually.

      It probably depends on what they were used for. I’m dutch too, but I did chemistry and civil engineering so I never used animals myself.

        Oh, yeah I was looking it up, and I think it might be just the general CCD protocols in our institution which al involve neuroscience, and those specifically are not up for adoption ,(couldnt find if this actually was from an EU thing, but prolly depends on the type of animal and intervention).

        And actually makes total sense. Some the relatively chil work in Wageningen with pets als falls under animal testing but it would feel wrong in those, mild cases.
