Canada's current non-legislated oversight system for animal-based science not only fails to adequately incentivize the replacement of sentient animals as best scientific practice in any meaningful way, but also fails to adequately protect those animals bred, harmed, and killed in the name of science. In this paper, we outline the various shortcomings of the Canadian Council on Animal Care, and we highlight the need for Canada to move towards national legislation akin to that seen in other jurisdictions like the U.K. We conclude that while legislation alone cannot ensure the replacement of sentient animals in science, it appears to be a precondition for significant progress in animal protection and for the development and adoption of non-animal methods.
加拿大目前针对基于动物的科学研究的非立法监督体系，不仅未能以任何有意义的方式充分激励将替代有感知能力的动物作为最佳科学实践，而且也未能充分保护那些以科学之名繁殖、伤害和杀害的动物。在本文中，我们概述了加拿大动物保护委员会的各种缺陷，并强调加拿大需要朝着类似于英国等其他司法管辖区的国家立法迈进。我们得出的结论是，虽然仅靠立法无法确保在科学研究中替代有感知能力的动物，但它似乎是在动物保护方面取得重大进展以及开发和采用非动物方法的一个先决条件。
