Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) Animals have an intrinsic value in themselves which must be respected. There are also ethical concerns of the general public as regards the use of animals in procedures. Therefore, the animals should always be treated as sentient creatures and their use in scientific procedures should be restricted to areas which advance science and ultimately benefit human or animal health, or the environment. Therefore the use of animals in scientific procedures should only be considered where a non- animal alternative is not available. Use of animals for scientific procedures in other areas under Community competence should be prohibited.
