All medical research is carefully planned, and this includes medical
research with animals. Experts who review a scientist’s proposed
experiment involving animals weigh several considerations before
approving each study.
The most important thing is that the research must be relevant
to human or animal health. Studies need to protect the animals’
welfare. That means that only the fewest number of the most
appropriate species may be used. Under federal law, all animals
must be treated humanely and undergo the least distress possible
For the environmental risk, it is much better to prevent pollution than to deal with it after it has already been made. When you deal with the pollution, it is hard to say that you can eliminate completely. So, prevention is the first strategy.
