In this story the researcher’s problem was that they let the rat live and used it across multiple experiments
I am not sure if you’re being deliberately contrarian to protect cognitive dissonance, or just wildly ignorant of how studies are conducted.
In the most literal sense a study is made of a battery of experiments that are each run across a series of tests. This is also just “an experiment” colloquially since they’re all testing the same area. They do not take rats from say a maze solving study, then give them diabetes for a different study, then give them a brain tumor before putting them in the decapicone (a real product).
I have stolen lab rats marked for death, I know what I’m talking about.

I figured, but in the meme story this is pretty explicitly what is happening.
