Indeed.

In the particular non-hypothetical case I mentioned, the lab monkeys were a little too close to human babies in their behavior and appearance. That did not help at all.

In the only monkey lab I've been in, I witnessed deep mutual love between the animals and their keeper. The conditions you describe seem unnecessary.
