Welfare of Laboratory Animals

THE Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (U F A W), temporary address, 284 Regent's Park Road, Finchley, London, N.3, as a result of recent correspondence with a number of workers engaged in experiments on animals, finds a widespread desire for experience to be pooled so as to enable the maximum of consideration to be shown for laboratory animals. With the view of helping to give effect to this feeling the Federation has supplied to 130 laboratories, on request, a copy of the recent book “Veterinary Anaæthesia”, by Prof. J. G. Wright. At the suggestion of a number of research workers, the Federation is proposing further to compile information relating to (1) anaesthesia of rats, rabbits, guinea pigs and other animals not covered by Prof. Wright's book ; (2) methods of killing laboratory animals ; (3) living conditions, housing, diet, etc., and to invite a small number of experienced men to act as a panel for approving or amending the resulting compilation. U F A W would welcome any views or suggestions relating to these proposals, addressed as above.
