Description
The Welfare of Animals Used in Research: Practice and Ethics provides a comprehensive and balanced overview of the issues surrounding the use of animals in scientific research. The book focuses on the animal welfare implications and ethics involved with using animals in research. It addresses these topics with sufficient depth to impart a real understanding of the varied and complex subjects, all while presenting the information in a beautifully reader-friendly manner.
Key features:
- Offers those not working in the field a reasonable understanding of why and how animals are used in research.
- Introduces the ethical issues involved in using animals and explains how these are addressed in practice.
- Details advancements in animal welfare and the use and development of the 3Rs principles, highlighting how these have become fundamental to the everyday use and regulation of animals used in research.
- Emphasises principles suitable for an international audience.
This book serves as a useful introduction to laboratory animal welfare issues for those intending to work in research involving animals. It is also beneficial to prospective animal care staff, animal welfare scientists, and individuals involved in ethical review. Additionally, it aids in informing debates among those not directly involved in experimentation but interested in the issues.
