No, I don't think so, Sloggalate. There are other manuscripts warning mages to try out some this/that => and it said at the end: case of animal testing.
http://www.kiya1.de/beyond/act1screens/Magtragedy.jpgAs I am an animal rights person (very highly involved) - I could have taken offense at this statement, if I had drawn a comparison between real life and a fantasy game. I didn't. Though I took care of escaped lab animals myself.

If I may comment a bit more, Sloggalate => being involved in the grief you are now, may lead to seeing comparisons, as your emotions are touched. I understand this - and I hope, you will feel better after some time, develop protection skin again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
Added the manuscript I was talking about.
