The 2010 Statistics of Scientific Procedures on Living Animals showed that the level of animal experimentation in Great Britain continues to rise, with just over 3.7 million procedures being conducted. This is almost exclusively due to the sustained increase in the breeding and utilisation of genetically-altered animals. Here, the general trends in the species used and the numbers and types of procedures are reviewed. In addition, the impact of the recent Government announcement to ban testing of household products on animals is discussed, along with the implications of the fish becoming the second most frequently used animal in scientific research. Finally, concerns about primate use, the REACH System, cosmetics testing and the new EU Directive on the protection of laboratory animals are explained.
2010 年《活体动物科学实验统计》显示，英国的动物实验水平持续上升，实验数量略高于 370 万次。这主要归因于基因改造动物的持续繁殖和使用。本研究对实验中使用的物种、实验数量和类型的总体趋势进行了综述。此外，还讨论了最近英国政府宣布禁止在家用产品上进行动物测试的影响，以及鱼类成为科学研究中第二常用动物的意义。最后，对灵长类动物的使用、REACH 系统、化妆品测试和新的欧盟关于保护实验室动物的指令等问题进行了说明。
