We are pleased to announce the release of our latest information sheet: ‘Avoiding mortality in animal research and testing’. This information sheet specifically addresses unexpected mortality in animals, which is usually assumed to be preceded by ‘severe’ suffering unless there is evidence otherwise.
This free resource offers a framework that helps members of Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Bodies (AWERBs), and other similar committees, to proactively identify ways to avoid mortality within their establishments. It was designed to facilitate constructive dialogue and the implementation of effective strategies. The information sheet also includes a useful flowchart that outlines clear steps to help avoid mortality in animal research and testing.
