Is the "dissection" of live lab mice illegal? What does PETA think?

Answer 1

No.

It is not against the law to dissect live mice, but it is a more moral and convenient procedure if the animals are sedated. I had to perform this procedure on a college level when we were studying Koch's postulates regarding the origin of infections. The mice used in this experiment were sedated with ether beforehand, and they died of the procedure painlessly.

PETA would be vehemently against this practice.

The dissection of live lab mice is generally considered unethical and illegal in most jurisdictions due to animal welfare concerns. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) opposes all forms of animal experimentation, including live animal dissection, and advocates for the use of alternative methods that do not involve harming or killing animals.
