Ethical issues concerning use of animals for experimentation and educational purposes

(i) Animals procured, handled and looked after according to the regulatory principles laid down.

(ii) Minimising the use of live animal material; trying other alternatives.

(iii) Optimum utilisation of a living being, but without causing any kind of suffering to it.

(iv) Proper/ decent disposal of the dead animals.

(v) Are the available regulatory procedures enough? What more is required in them? What are the non-relevant portions that could be deleted?

(vi) The regulatory principles alone, are not enough. These need a back-up of self-discipline and self-check.
