EV POLICY ON THE USE OF ANIMALS IN RESEARCH
EV’s aims are to promote and advance the standards in veterinary species through clinical research and training. We encourage robust clinical and translational research in the area of veterinary podiatry.
Such research may often involve prospective or retrospective studies on animals or ex vivo or in vitro studies on animal tissues. Studies on veterinary patients should not involve unnecessary interventions with the sole purpose of research; in other words, all interventions on veterinary patients should be for the intended benefit of the individual animal.
All such research should have local Ethics Committee approval as well as any local, regional or national licences when required; abstracts submitted should state this is the case when indicated.
As society concerned with the health and welfare of animals, EV acknowledges that sometimes research on animals is necessary for the benefit of human and animal health. However, we strongly support the 3R tenets of Russell and Burch, namely ‘replacement, refinement and reduction’ of animals in research, as supported by the International Council for Laboratory Animal Science (www.iclas.org) and embedded in the European Union Directive 2010/63/EU
(https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2010:276:0033:0079:EN:PDF)
Moreover, EV will not accept any studies for presentation or publication that involve the use of live bovines and small ruminants, dogs, cats, horses or non-human primates in invasive experimentation.
