Reports

These publications are the output of RSPCA-led expert working groups comprising scientists from academia and industry, veterinarians, animal technologists and other relevant stakeholders. Some cover broad issues associated with avoiding or reducing ‘severe’ suffering such as refinement, welfare assessment and the implementation of humane endpoints, whilst others provide guidance relating to specific models and procedures that have the potential to cause ‘severe’ suffering.
