One of the primary concerns in animal research is ensuring the welfare of laboratory animals. Modern views on animal welfare emphasize the role of animal sentience, i.e. the capacity to experience subjective states such as pleasure or suffering, as a central component of welfare. The increasing official recognition of animal sentience has had large effects on laboratory animal research. The (Low ., University of Cambridge, 2012) marked an official scientific recognition of the presence of sentience in mammals, birds, and cephalopods. Animal sentience has furthermore been recognized in legislation in the European Union, UK, New Zealand and parts of Australia, with discussions underway in other parts of the world to follow suit. In this paper, we analyze this shift towards recognition of sentience in the regulation and practice in the treatment of laboratory animals and its effects on animal welfare and use.
动物研究中的一个主要关注点是确保实验动物的福利。现代动物福利观强调动物感知的作用，即体验主观状态（如快乐或痛苦）的能力，这是福利的一个核心组成部分。官方对动物感知的日益认可对实验动物研究产生了重大影响。（Low 等人，剑桥大学，2012 年）标志着官方科学承认哺乳动物、鸟类和头足类动物存在感知。动物感知在欧洲联盟、英国、新西兰和澳大利亚部分地区的立法中也得到了承认，世界其他地区也在进行讨论，以效仿这一做法。在本文中，我们分析了这种对实验室动物管理和实践中感知认可的转变，及其对动物福利和使用的影响。
