After dumping the glitter, she yelled, “For the animals in the labs! Harvard, shut down the baby monkey labs now!” The crowd erupted in jeering and booing, while Garber could be heard off-camera saying, “It’s fine. I could use a little glitter.”

        Not to justify, but what do they use them for? Cosmetics testing? Early developmental psychology? Unknown to the public?

          According to the article

          The Livingstone Lab studies vision in the primate brain, according to its website.

          She clarified that she started working with young macaques in 2014 and, while her lab performed two reversible eyelid-closure procedures on macaques in 2016, the experiments now use non-invasive techniques such as goggles.

          I don’t know much beyond that.
