Hmm… I think our
time machine’s done?
Almost…
We need to make sure
that it’s completely safe
for testing.
Oh. I’ll
get Chris.
You really sure?
We’re just in the
first phase.
I mean…
Based on our method, bananas
will be used for the first part.
Oh, right! We considered that
option since it wouldn’t affect
the outcome that much.
Plus, we’re not even sure if the
machine’s really working, or
working well.
Okay. Now we’re just going to see if the
banana would go back to its previous
state, in the machine…
Told
you so.
The fruit we picked, went
back, but it turned into a
green jelly! Woah.
-test 5-
It’s not supposed to do that. Fortunately,
we didn’t made our cat look like this…
We can only let Chris be in the time
machine when we make sure that this
doesn’t happen again.
I’ll be back. Just gonna take care
of this cute ball.
Yes, ma’am! I’m willing to help…

How to
…as a student
Before
all
In deciding about the animal
experiments,
and
in
actually
doing
of
this…
them, have a supervisor/qualified
scientist/veterinarian with you.
1 Be nice to
Having a good relationship with
them!
them benefits you and the animals
involved. Let good vibes remain
before, during, and after the
study.
2 Make sure
… that you have considered every
alternative in the experiments planned
and that the animals will be in good
hands.
3 Give ‘em
Give
them the
best treatment and
the
best
the shelter that’s made for them.
You have to clearly secure the
fund for the research, the animal/s’
needs might get short otherwise.
4 Keep their
health checked
A thermometer, or any other equipment
dedicated for health monitoring must be
used for their physical wellbeing.
5 No stress as

their mental health in good shape.
They can develop different types of
psychological stress that could lead to
weight loss and behavioral disorders.
6 Don’t leave
‘em alone
Yes, an animal can be placed in a container,
all alone—but not for a long time, especially
if it’s known to be highly social, like some of
the young ones (kitten, pup-baby capybara)
They may develop mental disorders as
they age, if not accompanied for a while.
7 Feed them
If you plan to change their diet for your
enough
study, make sure the amount does not
exceed to the maximum/minimum
protocol.
They can develop stress and other
diseases from starvation and obesity.
8 Clean, clean,
They have the right to have a clean
clean!
environment. A dirty shelter can
negatively affect the outcome of your
study.
They can die from ammonia
buildup or parasite infestation,
if not dealt with immediately.
