The History of Euphemisms in Lab Research
Animals used in research are often hidden from sight and "de-animalized", as noted by Melanie D.G. Kaplan in her book "Lab Dog".
The author shares a personal experience with her beagle, Hammy, a former lab dog, and a meeting with Larry Carbone at Boston Common.
We woke in Boston before daybreak as usual, and Hammy — my beagle, who was once a lab dog used in research — stretched, a squeak escaping from his yawn.
Boston Common, the country's oldest park, has a rich history of public assembly, including events with George Washington, women's suffragists, and Charles Lindbergh.
Author summary: The use of animals in lab research is often veiled in euphemisms.
