I wonder if there should be a specific Data Hazard for "Includes data from experiments on non-human animals". There is an argument to be made that it falls under "Lacks Informed Consent", but I don't know that that is the best place for it. I think there is a distinction to make between situations where informed consent is in principle possible, but has not been obtained or even sought, and situations where informed consent is impossible. I think animal research falls into the latter category. In addition, it might be useful for some downstream applications to have a specific flag for whether animal research is involved (even if we decide that in that case, the "no informed consent" should still be up). For instance, once the use of Data Hazard labels is relatively widespread, researchers on animal welfare or the three Rs could use the labels relatively easily to compare projects with respect to their use of animals over time or across fields. So, even if the "includes data from non-human animals" label would not be completely independent of the "lacks informed consent" label, it might be a useful thing to have.
