- Animal Ethics (Studies)
- Harlow & Zimmerman (1959)

- Monkeys unable to develop socially with other members of the same species
- 'Picked on' by other monkeys who saw them as submissive/timid
- Pavlov (1903)
- Confinement of dogs for long periods in restraints
- Surgery on dogs to open the oesophagus, making swallowing impossible - causing pain/discomfort
- Skinner (1930)
- Expt used only 8 pigeons, so to some extent adheres to requirement of using as few animals as possible
- Pigeons are not an endangered species, so are a suitable species to use according to the guidelines
- Such a study could possibly be carried out on humans and alternatives should always be sought
- Each pigeon was starved to 75% of their body weight. This caused undue stress since as long as the bird wanted food, the study could have been carried out at their normal feeding time
- Randrup & Munkvad (1966)
- Amphetamines injected into rats to induce schizophrenic symptoms clearly causes stress/discomfort
- Harlow & Zimmerman (1959)
