- Just a perhaps-interesting related tidbit I read once:
-
- Pet rats are particularly prone to cancer because so many of them are related
- to research strains that are *bred* to get cancer easily. So, it's not you nor
- is it coincidence that so many of your pets have succumbed to cancer.
-
- Too bad, really. :-( However, maybe you can feel happy that you gave these
- animals a happier life than they would have had in the short life we provided
- them with in the labs we destined them for.

- Seems like there ought to be a way we could turn this fear into trust;
