Improved Control of Pain
The Animal Welfare Act requires "that the principal investigator consider alternatives to any procedure likely to produce pain or distress in an experimental animal" and in any practice which could cause pain to animals that a doctor of veterinary medicine is consulted in the planning of such procedures for the use of tranquilizers, analgesics and anesthetics.
