\"Print\"May 2014<\/h3>\n

LABA has signed the Concordat on Openness on Animal Research to signal our\u00a0support for the principles of openness and transparency. We continually encourage\u00a0our members to consider how they can be more open about their work and take\u00a0opportunities to engage with the public about the role of animals in science.<\/p>\n

Our policy on the use of animals in research aligns with our organisational aims to\u00a0support the needs of medical and veterinary research by the ethical production and\u00a0supply of high quality laboratory animals and this is endorsed by LABA members.<\/p>\n

LABA members do not all conduct research on animals, but agree that whilst the use\u00a0of animals in science is still a necessity we should strive to improve conditions for the\u00a0animals providing the best accommodation and care whilst they are in our charge.<\/p>\n

The use of animals in science is not taken lightly, and it is important that we\u00a0continually revise our understanding and practice of the ways that we use, care and\u00a0transport laboratory animals. LABA members work together to share good practices.<\/p>\n

LABA members recognise that not everybody is comfortable with the use of animals\u00a0in scientific research, but if there is no alternative to the use of animals then we will\u00a0strive to ensure that the principles of the 3Rs are implemented by our commitment\u00a0to provide high quality, high health status animals to accredited establishments\u00a0engaged in medical and veterinary research.<\/p>\n
