Historical overview
Use of laboratory animals parallel with the - Until the end of the 19th century: mostly dogs, cats,
development of medical science. rabbits and pigs → late more rodents (esp rats and
mice) = shift in type of species used.
Hippocrates - Legal obligation to test compounds in animals
- Accent on anatomy, mostly descriptive character before use in clinical studies.
- Vivisection - no anesthesia: everything was done - 1976: first legislation concerning the use of animals
on alive and awake animals in research - Cruelty of Animals Act
Galenus Counter movements
- Physiology: pigs, dogs, monkeys - Movement against experiments with animals, first
- Better understanding of circulatory system in England, later in France
- Animal was completely accepted as a model for - Peter Singer (1975): Animal Liberation Movement
men. - Tom Regan (1983): Animal Rights Movement
After the rising of Christianity: nearly no research
waas done and very little animals were used.
Renaissance
- From the 15th century on
- New urge to increase knowledge
- Lot of experiments on non-anesthetized animals
- Descartes: “The animal is like a mechanic object that
lives because of physical and chemical laws, without
conscience and not capable of feeling pain”
- Vesalius: anatomy of humans; relation between
spine and paralysis by cutting the spine of animals
- Harvey: animal is important source of information
→ knowledge of blood circulation and valves
Second half of the 19th century
- Discovery of anesthetics
- Darwin: similarities animals and humans →
scientific base for the use of animals als model for
humans
- Bernard: importance of organs (liver and
pancreas) → defends the use of animals in
experimental work
Emergence of microbiology
- Koch: pathgenocity of microorganisms is only
driven after infection experiment with healthy
laboratory animals
- Pasteur: development of vaccines and antisera
After WO I
- production of pharmaca
- Development of new disciplines (E.g. toxicology
and immunology)
- Strong increase in the number of laboratory
animals used.

Legislation
Numbers of animals used Degrees of pain and suffering
- World wide: appr. 100 million MILD
- VS: appr. 20 million; EG: appr. 12 million - Administration of anesthesia, except for the sole
- Belgium (2013): 626.742 purpose of killing
- 77% rodents and 8% rabbits - Non-invasive imaging of animals (MRI) with
- 11% fish, amphibians and reptiles appropriate sedation to anesthesia
- 4% birds, 0,6% farm animals - Superficial procedures, e.g. ear and tail biopsies,
- 0,09 % dogs, 0,05% cats and 0,002% primates non surgical subcutaneous implantation of mini-
pumps and transponders
Numbers are fluctuating:
- Development of alternatives, ethics, legislation, MODERATE
more responsible use and high costs = decrease - Surgery under general anesthesia and appropriate
- Development of transgenic animals = increase analgesia, associated with post-surgical pain,
suffering or impairment of general condition
Recent changes in law - Models of induction of tumors, or spontaneous
- April 2010: new Belgian Royal Decree: stricter tumors, that are expected to cause moderate pain
rules concerning housing of laboratory animals. to distress of moderate interference with normal
- September 2010: new European Directive on behavior
protection of animals used for scientific purposes. - Irradiation or chemotherapy with sublethal dose
- May 2013: transposition of the EU Directive into or with an otherwise lethal dose but with
national legislation reconstruction of the immune system
SEVERE
What does the law say - Toxicity testing where dead is the end-point
- Pain, suffering and discomfort were not defined in
- Irradiation or chemotherapy with a lethal dose
legislation → now in the new EU Directive.
- An animal should not be used more than once in without reconstruction of the immune system
- Vaccine potency testing characterized by per-
experiments that inflict serious pain and suffering
