3. Introduction
ď‚® Animal research directed to
elucidating many of the problems of
the causation, prevention and relief of
various diseases in animals, many of
which are also transmissible to
humans.
4. Pain and suffering
ď‚® Enormous benefits are made available
to animals by the methods of
experimental research so that much
pain and suffering are prevented or
relieved. These results could never
have been obtained without the help
of experi-mental research. Such
advantages are especially outstanding
in the fields of preventive medicine
with the development of sera and
vaccines.
6. Redwater
ď‚® The disease redwater in cattle used to take
a tremendous toll of life in most tropical
countries. It is due to parasites (Babesia
bigeminum) which invade and destroy huge
numbers of red corpuscles—up to 75 per
cent of them in bad cases—and which are
inoculated by ticks of several types. By the
use of an agent (trypanblue) discovered by
experiments on animals this loss and the
attendant suffering sustained by the
victims can now be reduced to almost
insignificant numbers. In some countries
the disease has been almost exterminated
by repeated dipping as a means of tick
control.
8. Animal research
ď‚® Animal research is the only way to
find effective and harmless way to
deal with illnesses and disease.
ď‚® Key to save millions of animal and
human lives
9. Conclusion
ď‚® It is very important to understand
that success in today’s medicine is
achieved because of animal research.
It is achieved with high price – lives
of animals on whom researches were
made. It is very important to
remember that and find alternative
ways to research illnesses and
disease.
