We hear this again and again. Behind every protocol is a human being carrying ethical conflict, moral distress, and experiences they’ve been taught to bury. If you or someone you know is struggling with the emotional or ethical toll of animal research, Justify is here and ready to help. 💛

We want every student and researcher who feels trapped and disempowered in the animal research industry to know this:
Your reactions—fear, disgust, trauma—are normal. They are signs of compassion, not weakness.
Thank you, Dr. Diqui LaPenta, for naming what so many experience in silence.

Behind the closed doors of animal research labs are not only animals suffering, but also humans—silenced by fear and stigma.
At Justify, we’re creating a safe space for lab workers to share their stories, heal from the trauma, and push for a more ethical, human-relevant future in science.

The most ethical voices in science are often the quietest—not because they lack conviction, but because speaking up can come at a cost.
At Justify, we’re making space for those voices to be heard, valued, and protected.
Together, we can shift science toward compassion, transparency, and truth.

When #science asks you to turn off your heart, it’s not science worth keeping. At Justify, we believe empathy should drive research—not be silenced by it. We’re building a future where science respects both human & animal life, and where compassion is a strength, not a liability.

In animal research labs, compassion is often viewed as weakness.

Animals in laboratories need lasting change—not just political posturing—which requires a strategy that drives strong policy, fosters research breakthroughs, and safeguards progress from being undone by future administrations.
