EARA | News - Repetitive behaviours in research monkeys linked to stress history A study from Canada and the US has found that some repetitive behaviours in monkeys are not just a response to recent stress, but can be linked to an animal’s life experiences. It is not uncommon…

Researchers at the @uofguelph.bsky.social found that some repetitive behaviours are not just a response to recent stress, but can be linked to an animal’s life experiences.

Screenshot of title and abstract for "Harm-Benefit Analysis for Animal Experiments Is Not Utilitarian". The abstract reads: The claim is commonplace that harm-benefit analysis (HBA), a weighing procedure widely used in ethics reviews of animal experiments, is utilitarian. We argue this is false and misleading for three reasons: (1) HBA does not compare, let alone maximize, utility across different options, but merely assesses whether the consequences of one option are net-positive, thereby ignoring opportunity costs; (2) HBA does not aggregate utility coherently, as it allows for varying degrees of speculation in the assessment of harms and benefits; (3) HBA is not concerned with moral evaluation or moral goodness. From our discussion, we derive positive suggestions for how to improve animal experimentation policy and public communications about it. Most straightforwardly, scholars and institutions should stop claiming that HBA is “utilitarian.”

🚨 New paper by myself and @tristankatz.bsky.social 🚨

"Harm-Benefit Analysis for Animal Experiments Is Not Utilitarian"

It's commonly claimed that HBA – used in the licensing of animal studies – is utilitarian. We say this vastly oversells the framework.

This is a v belated post, but a couple of weeks ago I had an opportunity to present at the Institute of Animal Technology symposium

I discussed a pilot study in which I trained mice to voluntarily receive medication. This approach represents a significant #refinement to animal welfare.
