But any experimental procedure, even if routine, arouses justified moral shock when taken out of the laboratory setting & into public spaces.

Krawczyk notes that visceral emotional responses could be blunted in individuals who "identify too readily with the culture of science as described,” as “[r]esearch and testing facilities are an organizational space that privileges detachment in the human professionals that work in that sphere."

Through cultural analysis of works by @suecoe.bsky.social & Nicole Cataldo-Davies on behalf of Lush Cosmetics, the study argues that such art can provoke compassion & even inspire political action on behalf of animals.

Without enforceable standards and clear benchmarks, progress could stall.

To ensure lasting impact, the U.S. must mandate and incentivize human-centric science and hold agencies accountable for measurable outcomes.
