§ 1650 Animal Research Welfare Standards

• •Animals can be used in science to help find cures for diseases in people and animals.
• •This includes using animals for medical research, education, and testing medicines.
• •The law says this is okay as long as it's done in a kind and careful way.

A scientist is testing a new medicine to help dogs with a sickness.

The law allows this because it could help other dogs and even people, but the scientist must treat the dogs nicely and not hurt them unnecessarily.
