Except science says look at the stress levels of such prison-like conditions. Lab animals usually have insufficient physical activity and insufficient "play" to keep the animals at sufficiently natural cortisol levels for that animal, and a lot of the science being generated from these animals is marred by lack of care when handling the animals. The vast majority of papers, no matter if they support a position I hold or not, are simply garbage. It is a continued waste of public and private resources to not consider maintaining the natural state of the animals and expect the science resulting from it to have any meaningful impact.
