Making it even harder to figure out what exactly is actually going on, people keep using obfuscatory words to make sure nobody knows what they are talking about:
Research:
- lab animal – “animal model”, or even just “model”, “organism”, “subject”
- monkey, ape, chimp – “nonhuman primate”
- cage – “housing system”
- euthanize – “terminate”, “cull”, “cut from the study” (They’re actually even trying to stop using “euthanize” now, because it’s such a “charged word”)
Meat Industry:
- killing – “stunning”
(Note: this is just a list of ideas to which I intend to return later. Additions are welcome.)
