I don't think this will actually help. I mean, the fundamental question is whether you value research higher than the suffering of animals. Because if we're being honest, there will always be suffering. Lab protocols can minimize it as best as possible, which is what the IRB is for, but it'll always be there.

I doubt many who oppose research on monkeys would change their opinion due to seeing the types of surgeries my old lab would do, systematically destroying parts of their brain.

Who cares what those people think. Their opinion should not keep back science from progressing.

I mean, pragmatically it's pretty important.

Did your monkeys sign consent forms?


They don't understand what consent forms are

If it's rats and monkeys, who cares? I just don't want them experimenting on dogs and cats.

I always find this opinion kind of silly. An animal is an animal. Sorry if society brainwashed you into thinking it was cute.

Why is the designation of animal "significant" outside of what society has "brainwashed" into thinking is a meaningful classification?

The best irony would be if those radicals who sent abuse contract terminal diseases.

I mean, it doesn't matter, the damage is already done, one of the most prolific and important primate neurophysiology labs has shut down their work, more-or-less. Want to know how the signal we get in-vivo in humans in the fMRI actually relates to the underlying neural activity? Too bad, that work has been significantly stalled.
