What is another word for laboratory animal?
Pronunciation: [lɐbˈɒɹətɹˌɪ ˈanɪmə͡l] (IPA) 
The term "laboratory animal" refers to animals that are used for scientific experiments and research purposes. However, some people may find the term too broad or even insensitive, considering the treatment and living conditions of many laboratory animals. Scientists and animal welfare advocates often use alternative terms to refer to these animals, such as "research animals," "experimental animals," or "animal models." Other more specific terms might be "lab mice," "lab rats," "lab rabbits," "lab dogs," or "lab monkeys," which indicate the specific species being used in the experiments. The use of more accurate and respectful terminology can help raise awareness about the ethical concerns surrounding the use of animals in scientific research.
