Laws around the world vary and today I
would like to introduce the regulation of animal testing in Japan.
In
Japanese Law for the Humane Treatment and Management of Animals defines animal
experimentation as the use of animals for scientific purposes with the
consideration of 3Rs. Under the Law, Standard Relating to the Care, Management
and Pain and distress Alleviation of Laboratory Animals regulates the usage of
laboratory animals in Japan. However the animal experimental procedures will be
promoted appropriately with the understanding of the people but not legal
restriction. In Japan laboratory animal care is regulated but the conduct of
animal experimentation is not. The various ministries notice the research organizations
to establish self regulated system in animal experimentation. The Science
Council of Japan published Guidelines for Proper Conduct of Animals Experiments
(The Guide). It says that the director of institutions a person with overall
responsibility in the institution for proper and safe conduct of the animal
experiments. It recommends establishing regulations specified for the proper
conduct of animal experiments.
