Developed from a series of lectures presented by the author at the Institute of Animal Technology in the UK, this text provides an overall guide to the legal obligations (as defined in Britain) of all those involved with the use of animals in research towards the animals in their care. The main emphasis is on the UK's Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, which addresses such issues as personal and project licensing, training, codes of practice, re-use of animals, and record-keeping. Other European legislation is explained in relation to such topics as veterinary surgery, drugs in research, ecological aspects, the transport, import, and export of animals, and liability.
