Illegal medical lab containing bioengineered mice and infectious agents including HIV and herpes discovered in California - nowsci

What was illegal about it? Was that warehouse not zoned for labs? Obviously poor storage and labeling practices, but surly (maybe) not illegal?
You can’t just decide to set up a medical lab and do experiments with infectious diseases without permits and licences and oversight, you know.
Well, this ruins my plans. Goddamn gubmit getting all up in my business.
Shit, my bad.
