Abstract
Important scientific discoveries have been followed using animal research particularly in the field of medicine and biology. Nevertheless, animals have to be treated in an ethical manner. Ethics in animal research follow the 3S model whereby: Replacement (where possible, using alternatives), Reduction (involving the use of fewer animals) and Refinement (whereby procedures are altered to cause minimal suffering). The ethics committees must approve their studies on animals in order to make sure that research is necessary and that they take good care of the animals. Good welfare would entail adequate food, hygienic surroundings, medicine and the reduction of pain or stress. Almost all the countries have legislative acts that guard the research animals, but the enactments differ. Uniform care of animals There should be international standards and collaboration that bring about uniformity in taking care of animals. Education of researchers, regulation of laws, and education of alternatives present the important steps towards improved animal welfare in research all over the world.
