Would Dr. Boycott also count for making cats wear hoods that constantly cover their eyes and ears, just for that purpose? If learning about animals by harming them is for a good purpose like protection, improving medicines or food, then it's worth it. If it's only for things like cosmetics or such, no. I unserstand that cosmetic research may not always be immoral, but the book portrays them as intentionally cruel. Even the author was disgusted by their actions. They may have done Rowf's drowning experiments for survival endurance in the film, but Dr. Boycott also abuses his subbordinate, Stephen Powell for simply being sympathetic towards the animals, because that wouldn't make him a scientist.
