Description
The responsible, humane treatment of animals both in the laboratory and in field investigations is a complex and highly politicized issue, about which biologists and the general public have strong and conflicting feelings. This text seeks to provide a balanced overview of the ethical and practical issues. NIH research training grants require, and NSF research training grants recommend, that institutions offer courses or workshops in the responsible conduct of science as part of their training programmes. This book could provide convenient text material for such seminars or short courses.

Description
The issues raised by research in animal behavior are often different from those raised by research in molecular biology and pharmacology. Studies of animal behavior often bring scientists into close and prolonged contact with their subjects. Due to this proximity, some researchers may feel confronted with the ethics of certain practices concerning human-animal interaction, especially when many investigators have been involved. The issue becomes even more controversial due to the fact that lay people in society often identify with the emotional reactions of animals. This book addresses the particular dilemmas and issues of relevance to the field of animal behavior. Part I concerns changing research practices and rules from both the institutional and personal perspective. The author considers the transformation of patterns of acceptable use in law and within the American Psychological Association, as well as the changing perspective with which scientists may evaluate some of their past work. Part II focuses on current issues regarding animal research and how scientists make practical decisions regarding their experimental subjects.
Part III explores ways of assessing the animal's well, preferably by asking the animal. Finally, part IV discusses the influences animals can exert on research practitioners, although those affected may not be aware of it, and animal activism.
