摘      要：The United Kingdom was the first country to pass legislation on the use of animals in scientific research, and is currently seen as having among the strongest laboratory animal regulations in the world. This brief paper will focus on three features which have characterised recent developments in laboratory animal welfare in the UK: the regulatory framework for laboratory animal use,the influence of public opinion on animal experimentation, and the importance of ethical review in weighing harms and benefits. Finally,attention will be given to the likely impact of the new European Union( EU) Directive.
