Recognizing and assessing pain, suffering and distress in laboratory animals: a survey of current practice in the UK with recommendations.
A survey was undertaken to evaluate how animal pain, suffering and distress are recognized and assessed in UK scientific procedure establishments designated under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. A total of 28 institutions were visited between June 1999 and April 2001, within which 137 people were interviewed including scientists, veterinarians and animal technicians. All 28 establ...
متن کاملDistress in Animals: Is it Fear, Pain or Physical Stress?
Both fear and pain can cause suffering. When pain is being studied, experiments must be designed to separate the variable of fear from the variable of pain. Some investigators claim that a sharp cut off line exists between those animals who experience pain and suffering, from those who do not. These arguments are based on the assumption that the capacity to suffer is related to the size and com...
متن کاملPain in Laboratory Animals: The Ethical and Regulatory Imperatives
The paradoxical goal of much of animal-based biomedical research is to model severe human injuries and illnesses without causing severe pain or distress to the animals. Current public policy in most countries calls for treatment or prevention of laboratory animal pain whenever possible. However, the ‘‘whenever possible’’ provision allows for some intentional infliction of untreated pain in labo...
متن کاملRecognizing Animals Using Motion Parts
We describe a method for automatically recognizing animals in image sequences based on their distinctive locomotive movement patterns. The 2-D motion field associated with the animal is represented using a ‘configuration of motion parts’ model, the characteristics of which are learned from training data. We adopt an unsupervised approach to learning model parameters, based on minimal a priori k...
متن کاملUnrelieved pain and distress in animals: an analysis of USDA data on experimental procedures.
Pain and distress are core issues in the field of animal experimentation and in the controversy that surrounds it. We sought to add to the empirical base of the literature on pain and distress by examining government data on experimental procedures that caused unrelieved pain and distress (UPAD) in animals. Of the species regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), most of the appro...
