Abstract

|
Justification of Laboratory Animal Law (LAL) in Korea is a public issue as the LAL originally initiated by the Korean Food and Drug Administration(KFDA) is duplicate with the regulation of lab animals in Animal Protection Law(APL). KFDA claims to have prepared a specialized law on laboratory animals, of which objective is to promote the reliability and quality of laboratory animals. Also, KFDA claims APL as an insufficient law as its objective is limited to protect cruelties for companion animals and industrial animals. KFDA supports these claims by the examples from the foreign legislations such as US or UK; however, this argument has not substantiated. This paper examines these claims by KFDA.
