The news spread fast. The regulations were debated for a lot longer. Obviously, the Ships' or Stations' Humans needed enrichment and Stabbies were the lowest cost version of that. You never needed a lot, and there were high odds of the Humans making one or more of their own.
But many Humans were as lazy as the ones on the dead station. All the safety alerts and warnings would fall on willfully ignorant ears.
"That's never happened," was the common Human rationalisation, "so it'll never happen." Humans could be dumb like that.
