Q

What makes an animal be considered to be protected by ASPA

A

Bred for use in regulated procedure.
Housed in an establishment where they are expected to be used in procedure.
Undergoing regulated procedure.
Bred so organs can be used.

If done in early development but will affect later life then they are also protected.

Q

Are genetic alterations covered under ASPA, if so how

A

They are controlled if the modification could cause pain or suffering.
But they are very closely assessed so most genetic alterations end up being protected.

Q

What are some examples of non regulated procedures

A

Identification procedures causing minimal harm such as ear punching and tagging, even if the tissue removed is used for genotyping.

Clinical trials on animals for evaluation of a veterinary product.

Any recognised veterinary procedures.

Changes to husbandry for scientific purposes which are expected to improve animal wellbeing.

Schedule 1.

Multiple mild procedures combining to cause harm might become ASPA controlled.

Q

What can you do with an animal after the research who is experiencing no adverse effects

A

Reuse it in unrelated studies.
Release it from the controls of the act and rehome it.
Return it to stock (farm)
Return to wild.

20
Q

What is standard condition 4

A

Fewest number of animals with most refined methods must be used.

21
Q

How is each protocol in the project license categorised

A

Severity categories.
Mild- injections with no adverse affects.
Moderate- repeated injections of harmful substances
Sever- severe changes in health
Non recovery

22
Q

What if the animal goes past the severity limit predicted

A

Urgent vetinary care
Human endpoint.
These must be reported to home office.

23
Q

When must animals be killed early

A

When it seems no scientific benefit can be made from the suffering.
When sufficient information has been collected.

24
Q

What is the actual severity

A

Use same severity categories but assess the animals after the procedure to see if predictions were correct.
Another category called sub threshold is used for animals that did not undergo enough harm for it to be considered mild.

The score is not an average but represents the highest suffering experienced.
Lots of milds make a moderate.

25
Q

What are the different types of personal license

A

PIL A no sedation anaesthesia or analgesia.

PIL AB short term sedation for restraint or minor procedures. Surgical procedures under brief non recovery anaesthesia.

PIL ABC anaesthesia for surgery or non surgery lasting longer than 15 mins.

PIL ABCD neuromuscular blocking agent.

PIL E education licence.

PIL F other procedures

26
Q

What should a personal license holder do

A 
Recognise pain in animals. 
Reduce pain. 
Monitor severity score and advise PPL if it is going to exceed the predicted. 
Obtain veterinary advice. 
Kill suffering animals.
27
Q

What can you do without a personal license

A

Withdrawing food and water.
Placing animals in restraining devices.
Pairing animals for breeding.
Schedule 1.

28
Q

Definition of dead

A 
Permanent cessation of circulation. 
Destruction of brain. 
Dislocation of neck. 
Exsanguination. 
Immeadiate body destruction. 
Rigor Morris.
29
Q

What two things do an establishment license mean

A

Can carry out regulated procedures
