Companion Animals | Livestock | Entertainment & Exhibition | Recreation | Trapping | Research, Teaching & Testing | Wildlife | Exotic Animals | Position Statement: Animals Used for Research, Teaching & TestingPosition The Alberta SPCA accepts the use of animals for research, teaching and testing if the procedures used and the standard of care provided do not jeopardize the welfare of the animals. Rationale The Alberta SPCA understands that animals will be used for research, teaching and testing for the benefit of both people and animals. The Alberta SPCA believes all research, teaching and testing should be done in compliance with the guidelines of the Canadian Council on Animal Care including rigorous review of all animal use protocols. The Alberta SPCA believes alternative methods which reduce, refine and replace the use of animals with non-animal methods should be developed, validated and used. |
