Happy World Lab Animal Day from the Haberdashery Cryptid Preserve!

Today, on April 24th, we celebrate World Lab Animal Day! This day serves as a vital reminder of the countless creatures who contribute significantly to scientific advancements in medicine, biology, and countless other fields. Here at the Haberdashery Cryptid Preserve, we understand more than most the importance of responsible research and the ethical treatment of all animals, mythical or otherwise.

While our residents might not be your typical lab rats and mice, we believe in the same core principle: all creatures deserve respect and compassion. After all, some of our most legendary cryptids may hold the key to medical breakthroughs! Take the Jackalope, for instance. Legends claim their antlers possess potent healing properties. Imagine the possibilities if science could unlock the secrets behind this mythical creature's physiology!

Of course, responsible research is paramount. We wouldn't dream of subjecting any cryptid to unnecessary procedures. However, through careful observation, DNA analysis of shed fur or feathers (we wouldn't dare harm a single hair on our residents!), and the tireless efforts of our dedicated cryptozoologists, we can learn a great deal from these fascinating creatures.

Here at the Haberdashery Cryptid Preserve, we celebrate World Lab Animal Day by:

• Recognizing the vital contributions of all animals, mythical and real, to scientific progress.

• Highlighting the importance of ethical treatment and responsible research practices.

• Continuing our mission to learn more about cryptids through non-invasive methods and collaborative efforts with the scientific community.

We all owe a debt of gratitude to the creatures who help us learn more about the world around us. So today, let's raise a glass (or a bowl of ethically sourced monster munchies) to our furry, feathered, or perhaps even horned friends in the lab!
