Animal Experimentation: The Animal Welfare Act

The ability to infer animals, feel "human" emotions, recognize and recognize pain should prevent them from being used for cruel experiments and laboratory tests. First, these tests are inhumane, dangerous and harmful for the animals involved. Second, about 94% of the tests performed on animals were not approved as being safe or eligible for human use. Finally, many of the alternatives that are perfectly applicable for animal research may be lower in price and risk than those currently in use.

Human welfare is of great concern, but by minimizing the suffering of animals during animal experiments, the welfare of animals is still taken into consideration. Animal protection law has been continuously developed and reviewed to reduce on-site anatomical structure (Monamy, 2000). Each experiment including animal use is usually performed under anesthesia. In this regard, if cruel treatment is involved, the experiment is not repeated or the animals used are euthanized. Animal experiments are acceptable as they improve the quality of human life without suffering from animals (Garner, 2005)

When the Animal Welfare Law was first amended in 1970, the definition of "animal" was extended to include warm-blooded animals commonly used for research, testing, experiments or exhibitions or as pets It was. , Livestock and poultry. Many people believe that rats, rats, and birds are clearly within the scope of "warm blooded animals" of the animal welfare law, but the US Department of Agriculture believes that when dispatching them and drafting laws and regulations, I made a decision. But it will be more later

Lobbying by animal welfare organizations has brought severe restrictions on animal experiments by federal, state, and local laws. According to the US Animal Welfare Law, all animals used for biomedical research need to be purchased from authorized suppliers of the US Department of Agriculture. The US Department of Agriculture inspects laboratories using animals and enforces federal law on care and care of animals. Scientists also take actions to prevent atrocities in animals, as abused animals may not have access to reliable data. The American Physiology Association, National Institutes of Health, and many other organizations have developed guidelines and regulations for the use and treatment of laboratory animals. There are many universities currently establishing animal welfare committee.
