Definition of Animal Use
“Any live, vertebrate animal used or intended for use in research, research training, experimentation, or biological testing or for related purposes”

Why Use Animals in Medicine, Biology and Biomedical Research?
Animals as spare partsAnimals as factoriesAnimals as models for human diseaseAnimals as test subjectsAnimals to study basic physiological principles and integration of systems
Evolutionary and comparative physiologyNovel solutions to complex problems
Bioinformatics, comparative genomics, proteomics, metabolomicsSystems biology
Animals for the study of animals and the environmentConservation biologyEcological interactions and community structureVeterinary medicine

Pain - The Percentages
“Some Pain, No Anesthesia”
This is only the case when anaesthesia (or other pain relief) would have affected results e.g., when testing another pain relief drug

Animal RightsAnimals and man share equal rights-- “personhood” for animalsAll sentient beings deserve equal moral considerationAnimal-based research is never justified, nor is pet ownership, food or fiber production, etc.“A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They’re all animals.” Ingrid Newkirk, PETA
Animal Rights vs. Animal Welfare

Animal WelfareAnimals and man are not equal, animals do not have the same rights as peopleStewardship: Man has an obligation to protect the welfare of animals (ie: provide food and shelter, limit pain and suffering, treat when injured, etc.)Foundation of contemporary animal welfare regulations and guidelines

Key Elements of the Federal Regulations
Justify why animals are necessaryMinimize pain and distressPersonnel must be qualified to perform their dutiesProvide appropriate husbandry and careUse of appropriate euthanasia methods

Ethical Guidance1996 NASA Principles for Ethical Care & Use of Animals: “Sundowner Report”
Principles of Humane Experimental Technique by W. M. Russell and R. L. Burch, 1959
![Page 28: Responsible Conduct of Research Involving Animals](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103008/568163e2550346895dd53e69/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
NASA Principles - “Sundowner Report”
Respect for LifeAll living creatures deserve respect
Societal BenefitSome valuable return in exchange for the sacrifice of the animal’s life
Non-maleficience“Do no harm”Pain, distress and discomfort to the animals must be minimized
![Page 29: Responsible Conduct of Research Involving Animals](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103008/568163e2550346895dd53e69/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Principles of Humane Experimental Technique
The 3 Rs
ReplacementUse of live animals as the research model should be replaced if possible
RefinementProcedures should be refined to minimize pain, distress and discomfort
ReductionNumber of animals should be reduced to the minimum necessary to achieve scientific significance without increasing pain and distress
![Page 30: Responsible Conduct of Research Involving Animals](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103008/568163e2550346895dd53e69/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Refinement• Better living conditions for animals
• Minimising pain wherever possible
•Better training for animal technicians
![Page 31: Responsible Conduct of Research Involving Animals](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103008/568163e2550346895dd53e69/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
ReplacementIn Vitro Testing
Computer Modelling
MRI Scanning
Micro dosing

Reduction• Re-evaluating minimum numbers of animals for statistical significance
• Methods allowing multiple procedures on single animals
• Better designed experiments to reduce numbers

The IACUC’s RoleReview and approve activities involving animals at UCI (protocol review)Review the animal program and inspect all facilities every 6 months Review concerns involving animal useInvestigate issues of non-complianceReport to regulatory agencies
![Page 35: Responsible Conduct of Research Involving Animals](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103008/568163e2550346895dd53e69/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Why Do We Review Protocols?
The protocol is…The written documentation of all procedures to be performed on live animals
The means by which adherence to the federal animal welfare regulations is assessed
The document that confirms the ethical treatment of animals used in the research
![Page 36: Responsible Conduct of Research Involving Animals](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103008/568163e2550346895dd53e69/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What Activities Require Review?
“Any live, vertebrate animal used or intended for use in research, research training, experimentation, or biological testing or for related purposes.”

IACUC Protocol Review
Rationale for the use of animalsJustification of the species and number of animalsConduct of experiments Unnecessary duplication of experimentsAppropriate sedation, analgesia, anesthesia Adequate training of personnel

The Ethical Bottom Line
The use of animals is a privilege, not a right
Society grants permission to use animals with the expectation that health benefits may be derived
the benefits to society outweigh the adverse effects imposed on individual animals (discovery and new knowledge)
