65,000 non - human primates are used in laboratory experiments every year in the united states

Each year, more than 110 million animals - including mice, rats, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish and birds - are killed in U.S. laboratories for chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing. In order for a drug to be approved in the United States, the FDA typically requires toxicity tests on one rodent species such as a mouse or rat and one nonrodent species such as a monkey or dog.

Around 65,000 non - human primates (NHP) are used every year in the United States, and around 7,000 across the European Union. No new biomedical research projects have been approved on chimpanzees in the US since 2015.

Macaques are now the most commonly used NHP - most are imported from China and Cambodia.

The huge demand for research monkeys and their rising costs have created a market for monkey smugglers.

While most macaques imported by the US are identified as captive-bred on paper, some experts believe that many of those in US labs have been trafficked from the wild as the illegal trade in wild-caught macaques is widespread. Sources state that prices vary from $5 000 - $20 000 per monkey.

NHPs are used because of their similarities to humans with respect to genetic makeup, anatomy, physiology, and behavior which make it possible to approximate the human condition.

NHPs are used in research into HIV, neurology, behavior, cognition, reproduction, Parkinson's disease, stroke, malaria, respiratory viruses, infectious disease, genetics, xenotransplantation, drug abuse, and also in vaccine and drug testing.

The NIH is the largest public source of funding for biomedical research in the United States.

Last year new U.S. law eliminated the requirement that drugs in development must undergo testing in animals before being given to participants in human trials. It allows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve new drugs without requiring animal data.

Signed in December, the law doesn't ban the testing of new drugs on animals outright. Instead it simply lifts the requirement that pharmaceutical companies use animals to test new drugs before human trials. Companies can still test drugs on animals if they choose to.

And pro-research groups are downplaying the law, saying it signals a slow turning of the tide. Jim Newman, communications director at Americans for Medical Progress, which advocates for animal research, argues non-animal technologies are still “in their infancy” and won’t be able to replace animal models for “many, many years.” The FDA still retains tremendous discretion to require animal tests, he says.

i don’t care if it’s bitchy posts like this are really ignorant and reductive and nonsensical and like i get the sentiment but you end up sounding like “we have anti aging creams but no cure for incredibly complicated diseases” face creams are just lotion made by companies?? research into the etiology of diseases is funded by the NIH through hypercompetitive grant proposals to investigators at academic institutions (that barely provide enough money as it is because congress is not adequately funding the NIH) there is no overlap between the things OP is confabulating here. i don’t go to seminars at work and see someone give a talk called “why i hate vaginas and why i’m studying boob jobs” no i promise you actual scientists at real research centers are in fact studying these diseases and yes progress is not made as rapidly as a new face cream comes on the market are you kidding me that’s like saying “we haven’t cured every cancer yet Neutrogena is releasing a new bandaid 🤔 curious” and that’s not even getting into why vaginal and uterine conditions are especially hard to study because guess what almost all translational research is done with mouse models and this is great for most research like my lab with T cells because mice and humans have very similar T cells! but as you may imagine mice and humans do NOT have similar uteruses or vaginas and without easily available animal models research into the causes or treatments of disease is 500000 times harder. my friend was in an endometriosis lab and she was relying on biopsy patient samples that A) were so infrequently available it was almost impossible to design accurately powered studies and B) since most samples came from women on birth control it was impossible to control for the hormonal influences that she was interested in studying and this is a really long rant but i understand people are frustrated and i understand this is a society as a whole problem but honestly take it up with congress maybe if there wasn’t a 10% payline for grant applications nowadays we could actually get work done without inflation pricing us out of all our reagents

whenever i see 2020s-style '2000s' VHS tape aesthetics i feel like i'm not quite the right age to be nostalgic or especially anemoic for them. i grew up with them and then stopped using them when the VCR broke, so it was easier to use DVDs because the DVD player worked. They never ever felt vaporwave to me. They never felt Y2K. They were a thing that I used until I didn't anymore. I feel nostalgic when I see VHS tapes being used through the visual signifiers of reality, and when I see the ones that I personally used. But, as prevalent online as the simulacrum of VHS and early 2000s nostalgia/anemoia as represented by a pink wash and TV lines and vaporwave 2 and chromatic aberration is, I kind of just find it annoying, because the 2000s didn't look like that to me. The thing about 2000s technology I encountered in real life was that it either looked bright and futuristic in that vivid plastic way (think something you'd see in a Future Shop flyer or a TV ad, or like the pink CRT television I had), or it looked beige and crusty and old as hell (the computers, speakers, keyboards, and mice your school and family members had. there were still balls in the mice for god's sake). Sometimes i can't tell if the people making things themed with the simulacrum version are old enough to remember but know their young market will eat this shit up, or if they genuinely weren't alive in the early 2000s or maybe any of the 2000s at all to know that it didn't look like a few glitchy tiktok filters. Personally, for 2000s technology aesthetics, I'd like to see people lean more into that 'futuristic' brightness or the older more neutral-toned and boxy tech models, or if we want to try something different, the aesthetics of early digital camera photography. in another timeline flash-induced high contrast and red eyes in photographs became the symbol of soooo vintage and popular. but as long as people condense the early 2000s into this far off distant liminal space where the world exists only in cool-toned pastels and everyone's every VHS has bad degradation, i just really don't think that's going to happen :P

(as a slight digression on that photography note, but at least the vintage-themed insta filters of the 2010s sometimes tried to replicate the lighting and saturation or lack-thereof of vintage photography, a medium that actually would have looked somewhat like that at the time because of how photos were developed. on the other hand, if your VHS tape in the 2000s looked like these faux-VHS rental aesthetic filters do, there was probably something wrong with it. The difference between approaching the past with the quirks of the mediums of the past as they'd usually occur — red eyes in early digital cameras, for example, which would be on the photo from the moment it was taken and was extremely common — and approaching the past with the defects of the same technology 20 years on — like VHS tape degradation that shouldn't be on a tape fresh out of the case in the 2000s — is the difference between approaching the past as it was and approaching the past as The Past.)

i think aesthetically approaching most decades from the lens of it being in the past is going to create an aesthetic that operates with the assumption that it always was the past. what most faux-nostalgic aesthetics that don't replicate the mediums of the time but instead dial them up to 11 and then slap a bunch of filters on miss is that each new decade is the present leaning into the future, in the time that decade is current. if you approach the new millennium aesthetically by taking an image and adding generic instagram or tiktok digital-vintage filters over it to show how vintage it was and always has been, you miss a lot of what made much of the decade, especially the early part, what it was.

Legend of the River King 64

JP release: 27th November 1998

PAL release: N/A

NA release: N/A

Developer: Pack-In-Video

Publisher: Victor Interactive

Original Name: Nushi Tsuri 64

N64 Magazine Score: 56%

Nushi Tsuri is a series of fishing RPGs that were released between 1990 and 2007. A few games have received western releases under the name Legend of the River King on the Game Boy and Game Boy Colour. Some of the later games were called River King in North America, but Harvest Fishing in Europe, to try and market it as a Harvest Moon spin-off (the mainline games of both franchises were made by Marvelous, but River King was first).

While the N64 version of Legend of the River King was marketed for a western release at some point, it ended up getting cancelled, so we’re left with a Japan-only game, which heavily relies on Japanese text. Google Lens is fine for rough translations, but is unfortunately not quite up to the task for specifics like translating fish names and other technical things like baits and lures. Still, I tried out what I could.

The game is presented as a top down 2D RPG and it looks lovely in motion, especially the water. Movement is surprisingly unrestrictive as it seems you can climb up any surface and swim through the water – there is one section where you’re blocked that’s part of a lengthy quest to reach the main objectives. The setting seems to be based on the British countryside (my girlfriend even commented on the look without seeing the red post box or football field), but with Japanese buildings.

The game stars a large family, and you get to choose which one to play as. While most of the game is the same for each, they have their own end goals. The girl I picked wanted to find a rare fish that uses a nest because it’s something her fiancé wanted to see. Along the way, you need to hone your skills by catching fish in order to get better equipment and win tournaments.

While the game is pretended in a cure and lovely 2D format, it changes completely once you get a bite on your rod. You are presented with a 3D view of the very nicely detailed fish. You need to use the analogue stick to make the fish think that the bait is real (it’s very difficult to figure out the tight motion) and use the a button to reel in. If the rod starts to strain, you’ll feel a rumble and you’ll need to let go until you see enough slack on the line to start reeling in again.

I found the fishing to be very difficult, even after reading tips online, and still struggled with the little indoor fishing that lets you fish as much as you want without using resources. You need to keep your eye on both your supplies and the quality of your rod.

Exploring the areas of the game (that I could access to – I never got the bridge repaired to access the blocked off areas), I did manage to find an old man that talked about the fish my character was after, as he laments that the species is now incredibly rare due to pollution. I did attempt to fish in this area on the off chance that I would find one, but I couldn’t even get bite, even trying lots of different bait.

I imagine that the information needed to figure out what kinds of rods, lures and baits you need to use in different locations is somewhere, but as Google isn’t great at translating those kinds of things, it’s lost on me, so this was kind of the end of my adventure. I did manage to catch a few fish, and you fill out an encyclopaedia with information – and you can make the model of the fish move its mouth by pressing A, so I had fun making it sing along to the tune of the music.

There is also more than just fishing. Wildlife will also attack you, either form you walking into them on the map or random encounters. Everything – seagulls, mice, eagles, cats, starfish – is out to get you, and you have three options: placate them with food, attack them or run away.

On top of catching fish, you also collect bugs and flowers. With bugs, you find them on the map and use your net to start the “battle” phase where you use a net or your bare hands to collect the bugs in a first person view. Cutting flowers is a bit more simple.

Legend of the River King seems like a nice and relaxing game, and it’s a shame that the language barrier makes it difficult to fully play and enjoy. I do really like this kind of RPG where the “combat” is something that isn’t a battle system, such as the handheld Mario Golf and Tennis games.

Even though I couldn’t get very far in the game, I enjoyed the time I spent with it.

It’s almost impossible to get a decent way into it if you’re not even slightly conversant in Japanese, such is the option-heavy nature of the text ��� but we did have a fair amount of fun once we discovered how to fish.

- Jes Bickham, N64 Magazine #26

Remake or remaster?

It would be nice to see an English translation of this game – and perhaps a Story of Seasons fishing game.

“if we want to live in a sustainable world that we’re not destroying, we’re likely going to have to give up certain modern luxuries or conveniences that we get from capitalism”

“Noooooo that’s not true we can do that without exploiting people, we have the tools to make it more ethical!!! [proceeds to list off things that only benefit workers in the global north from a labor distribution and pay standpoint]”

Bruh………..do you think the problem with capitalism is only that too much money goes to rich people? do you just think it’s that workers are workers are overworked? like. besides the point of fact that excessive resource extraction, which IS unsustainable at its current rate and IS destroying the planet, WHICH IS what OP is actually talking about, do you think that luxuries like AAA video games come only from labor, spun into existence from hours and motivation? Do you understand things like cobalt and rare earth metals mining? The process of making superconductors, CPUs? Where it’s done, where these resources are extracted from? How much water it takes? How about power, how is a company of programmers and playtesters and designers and artists and modelers and marketers and execs Powered? How much of the grid does it eat? Where does that electricity come from? How do they generate it, where do Their resources come from? Let’s talk used machinery, where does all the burnt out shit go? Is it recyclable, like on the scale it needs to be? Do YOU recycle all your broken electronics? keyboards, mice, monitors, vapes, where does it go when you can’t use it anymore? Are you tired of reading this? Are you tired of thinking about it?

You believe capitalism is a problem of the western developed world, whose main victims are those of the global north, rather than a grossly exploitative and extractive process that primarily impacts the global south and all living things on the earth. We have already hit a capitalistic threshold beyond what the earth can support, and the only way to get back from that ledge is to Oop! reduce the set of conveniences and luxuries you get to have, instead of saying “wait no we don’t have to change! We just have to redo capitalism *~*ethically*~*”

[gatekeeper-watchman]

Our National Healthcare

          I have discussed this subject before; but, especially in light of current events, I would like to discuss it again today–perhaps, even more candidly. I’ll be honest with you. If I were a member of Congress when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), aka Obama Care, was passed, I would be angry with rejectionists like the illustrious Kentucky Colonel, Mitch McConnell. That I would have voted for that bill without hesitation. Even though, however, I was, in all honesty, really not in favor of it. I say to you, as I have said to others, the law is an exercise in masturbation. I told my friends then; and, I also, wrote President Obama, telling him that, too (He, eventually, thanked me for my letter but didn’t mention the subject of healthcare). Today, four years later, I feel even more negative toward it. This law has good intentions, but it fails the people of this country. I see a train wreck coming. It is coming, and it’s going to hit hard. When it does, the American people are going to be mad as a swarm of bees. Mark my words. Don’t forget I said it, Mister Politician.

It is anything but affordable for the masses of the people; it is confusing, bordering on being unintelligible to most; and it is so complicated and expensive, that it could drive all of us, people, and government into bankruptcy.   In tackling our problem of healthcare, President Obama made the same mistake as President Clinton; in his effort to be conciliatory and bipartisan with the Republican Party, he invited the major stakeholders in the medical-industrial complex to the negotiating table, assuming that consensus there would bring reform. Who are those stakeholders? They are the pharmaceutical, hospital, physician, and insurance industries–the primary focus of all of them being profits, with the interests of the people being last on their list. They not only fought the administration on this, they fought within against themselves. I ask you. Who ever heard of the customer or client coming in first on the list of any insurance company? Really!

          I submit to you that healthcare is not a commodity like oil, sugar, pork bellies, credit default swaps, housing, automobiles, and so on. Healthcare is not adaptable to or compatible with the free market (a myth at best) in any way, shape, or form. Who besides the most skilled can intelligently evaluate an insurance policy; who but the most skilled physicians can evaluate the abilities of a doctor; when you need to go to the hospital, how often is it you who has the decisive choice as to where to go; and, lastly, who of you is able and has the expertise to knowledgeably determine the proper drugs you should take when you are ill? I am certainly not qualified and neither are almost all of us.

Healthcare is a need of all of us–a need we share in common. Accordingly, it should be governed in common. Healthcare is our RIGHT. How do I justify that? It is stated as such in our Declaration of Independence. We all have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We should be allowed to have and enjoy that right. We need a system that will work, one we can afford, and one for which we can pay (Surely no one thinks it can be free). We need a single-payer, national healthcare system modeled after Medicare with, like the VA, the ability to negotiate prices.  

Immediately! I hear someone cry socialism. In this individual instance, why should you care if it works? As one person once said, “It doesn’t matter if the cat is white or the cat is black. The cat we want is the one that catches Mice” (or something like that). A single-payer healthcare system will catch mice. If we were talking about the whole country going socialist, we would need, I would think, to sit down and have a long talk about the matter–a very long talk. In this instance, however, no one is even thinking about that. We already know socialism has failed as a whole, so this isn’t even the subject of the matter. We need a system that works for us.

Let me tell you about that word, socialism. The word socialism is inflammatory; used, primarily, to arouse and anger people to influence their minds in one direction or another. To most people, it is something bad, from which one will turn away with rejection. We hear it every day from those who don’t believe in government, usually some form of anarchists. It usually comes from those who want to control your mind and lead you in the direction they want you to go. Do you need that kind of person?

I want to call your attention to a fact of the matter. When Medicare was made into law in the 1960s, it was up and running in a year. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was passed four years ago and still is not working, some provisions of which are being moved back even now, as we speak. Medicare, on the other hand, has been in effect for over forty years and working just fine even now. How about that? Our illustrious politicians haven’t been willing to even so much as give single-payer national healthcare a national hearing for consideration. Is that Democracy?

How should we pay for such a plan? I have given a lot of thought to the matter and changed my mind from when I first wrote about “single payer”. Please allow me to bring another issue into the picture, Social Security. This safety net, also, is moving forward to the day when our government allows it to become a national crisis. Social Security, to the best of my knowledge, is one of the most efficient, well-run programs, with the lowest costs of administration of any other government program. A big reason for this success is that the fund is “stand-alone”, “self-funding”, and not included in our general budget. In this way, it is highly controlled and does not affect our national deficit. Our biggest problem with financing this program is, in my mind, five-fold, the recession in our economy, the retirement of our “baby boom” generation, and our massive unemployment (Whereas, in the past we had more people paying than those receiving benefits, we now have less paying in–I am told only three paying in now for twelve receiving.), the aging of our people, and increasing disabled coming onto the rolls. Payments into this fund have to be increased, and cutting benefits and cost of living adjustments is unacceptable. Having said that, raising payroll taxes on employers and employees (the money is going to have to come from somewhere) will create additional hardship and political tensions no one needs or can stand just now.

Let’s now get back to the question (or issue) of single-payer healthcare. It, too, must be financed. Again, it’s not free. It will be expensive, but it will be a lot less expensive than Obamacare–a lot less. I might, also, call your attention to the fact we are not feeling the full pain of even our current healthcare expenses, as exaggerated as they are. We are paying for a lot of them “on the cuff”–it’s in our deficit. But I digress. We should administer single-payer healthcare in the same manner as we do Social Security, with a stand-alone fund into which go all receipts and out of which go all disbursements. In no way should the accounting for healthcare be mingled with the accounting for government. In no way should healthcare funding be allowed to affect our deficit. Tax rates for payments into both the healthcare and the Social Security funds should be automatically adjusted annually for any expense overruns or surpluses. So I am not confused, in no way should our stand-alone healthcare fund be co-mingled with our Social Security fund. The accounting for both must be kept completely separate and open to the public.

Now, let’s get to the question for which you have been so patiently waiting (if we have come this far and you are still with me, you must be patient). How should we pay for this? I believe we should create two separate and apart national Federal Sales Taxes, a separate sales tax for each fund. For states that presently have sales taxes, we should take advantage of their systems to prevent duplication in costs, using them for collection. For states without sales taxes, currently, they should set up a system and be reimbursed by the government for collection. These taxes should be itemized separately on every sales receipt, separate from those of the state.

In conclusion, what will we accomplish by all this?

We will have a national single-payer cradle-to-the-grave healthcare system, the cost of which will be much more acceptable to the taxpayer.

We should save trillions of dollars by eliminating insurance profits and reducing healthcare costs by allowing the government to negotiate prices (this suggestion presumes that healthcare remains private and the government is the single-payer). Additional savings should, also, be realized by increased efficiencies.

Employer and employee payroll taxes will be eliminated, a boon to both and a stimulus to the economy.

Healthcare will no longer be a “monkey” on the back of business.

The pressure for reduced work weeks will be eliminated.

Uncertainty of the future will be reduced and businesses will be better able to plan.

The adjustments and uncertainty surrounding both healthcare and Social Security will be resolved, and the tax rates will be adjusted annually.

The immense and horrendous worry by our people will be significantly reduced.

And last, but not least, hopefully our people will be more at ease and stable.

Let’s quit fighting. Let’s quit arguing and bickering and quit the politicking and put our country first. We must pull together and get the job done.

Happy 65th birthday to Derek William Dick, better known as Fish, frontman with the group Marillion.

Fish was born on April 25th 1958 in Dalkeith, first born son of Robert And Isabella Dick. His parents ran a garage and petrol station, where he worked as a pump attendant in his youth. He has a sister, Laura, 3 years his junior. He attended Kings Park Primary School and Dalkeith High School, in his childhood home town, just outside Edinburgh.. He left school; with grade A O-levels in History, Chemistry, English, Maths and Biology and grade B O-levels in German and English Literature.

In 1976 he started to work as Forester. In 1980 he quit and started a musical career. He joined a band called Blewitt and joined Marillion in 1981. After a year of intense gigging in the UK they got signed to EMI and released their debut album Script for a Jester’s Tear in 1983.

Their biggest hit singles were Kayleigh and Lavender in 1985 (from the number one album Misplaced Childhood and Incommunicado in 1987. Their other top 40 singles included Garden Party, Sugar Mice and Warm Wet Circles. In 1988, after touring their critically acclaimed fourth album Clutching at Straws he left the band to start a solo career

In 1987 he married Tamara, a model from Berlin who he had met during the recording of the album Misplaced Childhood and who appears in the music video of “Kayleigh”. Later she also appeared in the video of his solo single, A Gentlemen’s Excuse Me. They have a daughter, Tara Rowena Dick, born on January 1st, 1991. In 2001 Fish and Tamara separated.

Derek has also tried his hand at acting his first job was in Zorro, and he isn’t shy of having a bit of fun in his roles, playing “Derek Trout”, a record producer in the 1999 series A young person’s guide to becoming a rockstar.

The East Lothian-based singer has undergone spinal and shoulder surgery and suffered two bouts of potentially deadly sepsis.

In 2020 Derek released an album called Weltschmerz, and it gave Fish a surprise hit , but not a chart hit, his management say it would have been number two in the UK charts, well done big man! The album was entirely self-funded, marketed, created and distributed from his home in Scotland and because UK chart rules require distribution through official channels it was precluded from the official charts.

Fish also revealed in that 2020 he’s retiring from the music business — saying: “I don’t want to be 70 and singing Kayleigh on the chicken-in-a-basket circuit While I can’t see him doing the likes of Rewind, I would think he will still be releasing material given the success of Weltschmerz, it sold over 60, 000 copies.

Fish did tour Weltschmerz and celebrated the 30th anniversary of A Vigil In A Wilderness of Mirrors as part of the Vigil's End tour in 2021. The tour was documented on the live album Vigil's End Tour 2021, released on physical formats in December 2022 and digitally in March 2023.

Derek has filled stadiums and sold thousands of records around the world - but he is now preparing for the quiet life in the Outer Hebrides after visiting last year.

The musician has snapped up a 35-acre croft on Berneray with his wife Simone.

A recent report says a planning application has been lodged to carry out renovations at the couple's new home at Beasdaire, which overlooks a beach at the northerly end of the island. Dick, currently lives in East Lothian and told his fans during an online broadcast earlier this month the prospect of relocating to the islands was 'really exciting'.

The former rock star is a keen gardener and host of the award-winning Fish on Friday - a Facebook live-stream. On the move he says been watching programmes about farming on the islands and held Gaelic, which is spoken widely on Berneray, in high regard.

Despite the best efforts of PR firm Alabaster & Darley, the term "meef" (an abbreviation of "mouse beef") soon spread from Britain to the United States. One focus group report even suggested a widespread belief that the beef flavor of the product was not transgenic, but an additive added after the product was grown.

Other focus groups expressed the belief that meef was composed of conventional domestic mice rendered down into a nutrient slurry, a generic product produced from multiple animals ("whatever they can get on the market"), or the result of a tested advance in the field of automatic butchery. Several focus group participants requested to see the researchers' automatic mouse-butchering process. One participant found the beef flavor particularly compelling, and demanded to see the researchers' "tiny cows."

Despite these beliefs, nearly all focus group participants expressed preference for meef over conventional cricket paste, which had proved to have a variety of health complications, leading the Committee to renew funding for the Small Model Organism Alternative Meat project. Around this time, focus within the project shifted from providing a 'minimal viable meat animal' towards the development of a self-contained organic life support system, which would allow transition from expensive medical-grade cell culturing equipment to simpler food-grade production setups by immune support.

still thinking about that animal testing post and how there is such a huge difference between 'no animal testing at all' and 'carte blanche for anything'

as someone who worked with lab animals occasionally and who has multiple people close to me who work with lab animals here's the thing about it:

you can't culture your way out of animal testing.

researchers CAN care about animal welfare. they can also not care. at all, and painting all researchers as controlled, ethical people is unfortunately not always the case.

yes there are committees whenever animal testing is happening. it's highly regulated and the committee itself should have members with different perspectives, including laypeople.

not everyone is going to recognize when an animal is in pain or distress. mice, rats especially hide their discomfort because they're prey animals. birds are used sometimes, which is a whole new set of body language cues to learn. this happens within research groups as well as within committees because people are SO geared towards cat/dog behavior in general.

the research career path prioritizes publishable results over anything else. lots of people can speak to the process of getting funding for research, having to prove it's either marketable or needed, and just how stressful it is. this is not a conducive environment to thinking about the welfare of your model organism

some things don't need to be studied (looking at you 'rats driving cars' study that did brain analysis only mentioned in the end notes) and it is not anti-science to ask someone to think about the living impact research has.

basically, the scientific research community is built like an inbred racing horse, which prioritizes results over wellbeing (both of animals AND of the humans doing the study)

it is the responsibility of the PI to create procedures that take into account the organism as a whole- its nature AND its body. it can happen, and does happen. on the flip-side, sometimes the research is so direly needed that sacrifices need to be made. even then, it is possible to treat the lab animals with respect.

this is all to say that the subject of animal testing is fucking complicated and it does nothing to just sit there and whine about how animals 'can't consent'

if you are in the research field and know of some recent studies on lab animal welfare and its impacts on results i'd be glad to pick em up if i can. i haven't heard anything about large scale movements within the scientific community to document animal welfare in trials but would be genuinely delighted to hear if there is actually something going on.
