Mouse 'rave concert' experiment branded 'sick'
An animal rights group has condemned an experiment in which mice were given drugs and forced to listen to rave music.
The British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection condemns it as utterly disgusting.
The Cambridge University study found a club environment makes the drug more toxic.
Many mice suffered seizures after being injected with methamphetamine, or speed, and subjected to music by The Prodigy. Those that listened to Bach were less likely to suffer.
Wendy Higgins, BUAV campaigns director, said: "These sick experiments are absolutely despicable and will shock the public.
"Just because people choose to take drugs and go to raves doesn't justify subjecting animals to suffering and death in the laboratory in procedures that will tell us nothing we don't already know - taking drugs and listening to excessively loud music isn't good for you."
