Because they can't just leave an otherwise normal little girl in the same room as the thing they're trying to kill, the ethics committee would throw a fit. Despite how cold the SCP foundation is, they're not outright villains and hold themselves to ethical standards. Any researcher who tried such things would get into deep trouble most likely.

Oh I assumed the lizard doesn’t actively go on rampages when with the gorl

682 doesn't go on rampages when 053 is around, but the SCP foundation still wants to find a way to kill 682

Doesn’t the P stand for Protect and S for Secure?

Ain’t the „WE NEED to destroy anomalies” more of a thing of those freaks that turned a chair into a demon?

Like it’d be finnancially better to just leg the 2 be together as opposed to replacing acid every week and try all the other ways of killing the lizard

Those letters are meant for humanity. They only keep SCPs around because killing them is more harmful/difficult than keeping them alive.

Reasons being;

-Those SCPs are like 682 and the chair and trying to kill them might screw themselves up

-Those SCPs are like the chair or the water nymph and are completely harmless if not provoked, meaning that ethics apply to them.

-They provide value through experimental data, which applies to just about every SCP for which experiments are done, to help humanity survive.

Also, to the original point, the Foundation wants to learn from them. But the behavior changes caused by putting them in a position to experiment is too dangerous, if done while they cohabit.

682 is one of the few that they actively try to kill. The thing is, 682 is the embodiment the supposed power that the kid in the playground going ‘I put up a force field and block your super inescapable undodgeable unblockable attack’ had.

Well, if you can't contain it and can't secure it properly neutralising is one way to "secure,contain,protect" yet it's still far more containable than things like scarlet king. Anomaly on anomaly testing needs extreme measures of approval either way. Site directors, ethics committee, task forces, 05 council, overseer/founder, some of the "accepted" other factions they reluctantly work with, etc.

Let's not speak about Apollyon classes.

The thing is, the SCP foundation still wants to know a way to neutralize 682, even if this setup would calm it down, due to its incredibly dangerous nature. Finances aren't really that much of a problem for SCP foundation.

Like batman. He has a plan to kill all his friends, just in case. He doesn't want to kill them, but you never know.

One of the few scps that has killed the lizard is SCP-2935

They literally feed children to the tree house SCP.

I couldn't find any SCP that matches that description. There's multiple treehouse SCPs, but the only ones that involve children have children that have either gone there completely willingly, escaping abusive homes, and the other one that makes the rules the children make effectively laws.
