| Description | Human-animal interactions are a daily, significant, and often unavoidable component of laboratory animal science that can impact research animals, the people who work with them, and even research outcomes.$ ^{1}$ After all, several regulatory bodies require that all animals are checked daily$ ^{2} ^{,} ^{3}$ and even this simple presence of a person in the housing room can influence the animals and research outcomes.$ ^{1}$ Unfortunately, without deliberate effort, human-animal interactions can negatively affect both animals and humans alike. Animals may experience fear and stress from these interactions – which can negatively affect their behavior, physiology, and quality of life. Humans may also experience stress from negative interactions or from performing stressful procedures such as euthanasia. Finally, scientific quality may suffer from negative outcomes from human-animal interactions; research results from stressed animals may be less likely to translate to human research – thereby decreasing study validity.
