Many biomedical research studies use captive animals to model human health and
disease. However, a surprising number of studies show that the biological systems
of animals living in standard laboratory housing are abnormal. To make animal
studies more relevant to human health, research animals should live in the wild
or be able to roam free in captive environments that offer a natural range of
both positive and negative experiences. Recent technological advances now allow
us to study freely roaming animals and we should make use of them.
