When I was in graduate school I picked up some extra money

noises behind me and turned around to see a technician
popping the heads off the necks of a large number of rats.
He was very fast.

SHe has a whole ground mouse product....but
somehow I doubt she's offing them that way.

Its efficient, but it isn't a nice way to go. They use it in some labs at
the university for their mice, but some researchers have completely banned
in their labs*, in favour of cervical dislocation as they don't feel that
CO2 is a good way to do it (cervical dislocation takes more skill, and
more time to do, but they feel that it is a much more humane way to go
when its done properly).

I've only seen cervical dislocation used in the mouse/rat labs I'm familiar
with.

It means pretty much the same thing, and your plagiarized
text is factually incorrect.


Plagiarism, as defined in the 1995 Random House Compact Unabridged
Dictionary, is the "use or close imitation of the language and thoughts
of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.

I've never pretended in any way that those were my words. Indeed, since
I post the links to most of what I quote it could never be plagiarism.

Moron.

When you fail to credit someone else you're implicitly
taking credit for the writing.

Be that as it may, you're wrong and the author whose work
you stole was wrong - the same criteria are used for
"organic" labels on human consumables, animal consumables,
and non-consumables under USDA guidelines. And that's a
fact.

There is an obvious link to the full quote right next to the quote or
can't you see when you head is up your ass?

Fercrissakes! Chard, when you don't indicate, in any way, shape or form,
that the text you're writing is indeed someone else's words, how the hell
would anyone know? You don't use quotation marks, you don't use angle
brackets, you don't give credit, nothing. Just lines and lines of text,
sometimes followed by a link, which people don't always follow, and you
don't indicate WITH CREDIT that the original article is at the end of link.
It LOOKS like you've written these posts yourself. If you refuse to
attribute, how can you fault anyone for thinking you A) Wrote it or B) Stole
it and are taking credit for it?? Even just adding a "So and so wrote in
his article this:" before you cut and paste all your crapulence would save
you a lot of heartache, misunderstandings and threats of lawsuits.
I won't comment on the content of said crapulence as others here can do a
much better job than me, but at least try to give credit for it from now on,
and you won't look quite as stupid as you do now.

Providing a link is a way of indicating that it was the source of the text.

You don't use quotation marks, you don't use angle
brackets, you don't give credit, nothing. Just lines and lines of text,
sometimes followed by a link, which people don't always follow,

Then it's the fault of those who don't follow it, not me. If you don't
like it don't read my posts. I'm not bound by you or anyone to use
correct grammar or attribute text exactly like *you* want it done.

Can't you find something legitimate to moan about?
