Abstract

On the 24th November 1986 the Council of the European Communities adopted the directive(l) on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States regarding the protection of animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes, with a view, amongst other things, to reducing to a minimum the number of animals so used. Paragraph 2 of Article 7 of the directive states, “An experiment shall not be performed if another scientifically satisfactory method of obtaining the result sought, not entailing the use of animals, is reasonably and practically available”. In the United Kingdom, the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986(2) came into force on January 1st 1987 and the provisions for licensing particular types of work require that the applicant demonstrates that he has “adequately considered the feasibility of using alternative methods not involving live animals”. These moves have been stimulated by the growing public opinion against the widespread use of laboratory animals. In some cases, the level of protest has achieved extreme proportions. The scientific community has also questioned the need for the numbers of animals used in experiments.
