Would Dr. Boycott count, as he runs a cosmetic research lab and tortures and abuses animals there? He felt no remorse for his actions as he made Rowf drown repeadedly and did a brain surgery on Snitter and was only using Stephen Powell, though he only wanted a job to save his sick daughter. While the other humans wanted to catch the dogs because they're killing livestock and are carrying plague, Dr. Boycott only wanted to catch them so he can bring them back to his lab and so they wouldn't make him look like a fool. The fact the monkeys have electrodes planted into their heads makes it unlikely they are being used for breeding, but equally horrific invasive brain research. His inept handling of the situation arising from the dogs' escape serves both to antagonize the local farmers and to provide grist to Digby Driver's mill, despite his efforts to do the opposite. It's also implied that they starve their dogs as well. At the end, Dr. Boycott was forced to quit his job after the dogs escaped.
