Getting drunk is one of the most pleasant things a lab mouse can be subjected to.
But hey, r-type species are torn apart in the wild, too. They were created by mother nature herself to be expendable, and do nothing but breed as fast as possible up to the available food supply. When spared the attention of natural predators, they tend to have mass die-offs after exhausting the food sources in the area. Getting vivisected alive in a science lab in exchange for free room, board, and controlled breeding is a comparably better fate.
That's a little detail you'll never see in a PETA handout.
