Praise for the first edition:

"It is hard to see how anyone with responsibilities under
the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act could manage without a book
such as this." Michael Balls, review published in Atla

"The strength of the book lies in the way Kevin Dolan
brings his experience to bear blending information from various
sources." Patrick Sinnett-Smith, review published in RDS
News

Written by the leading expert in this field, this is the only
book providing practical guidance on the legal obligations of
caring for laboratory animals. Up-to-date information on all
relevant UK legislation and guidelines is given, with the main
emphasis being on the interpretation of the Animals (Scientific
Procedures) Act 1986.

New to this edition:

*Emphasis throughout is now on the practical application of
legal controls of the use of animals in research.

*Updated where relevant to keep in line with new welfare
legislation.

*Coverage of current format of application for personal and
project licences.

*Expanded coverage of Certificates of Designation.

*Impact of the Freedom of Information Act is discussed.

A vital resource for all those involved with the use of animals
in research, and especially those studying for qualifications or
licences in this field.
