This article examines the nature of the controversy between animal activists and the scientific community over the need for and desirability of additional regulation of animal experimentation. We critically review the existing federal and state regulatory environment and discuss a number of proposals for new federal legislation for regulating the use of animals in scientific experimentation. We identify and discuss three factors that encompass the issues that are at the core of the controversy and use these to suggest a conceptual framework in which to analyze schemes for regulating animal experimentation. Finally, we discuss the implications that such regulation will have for animal experimentation and conclude that it is neither necessary nor desirable.
本文探讨了动物保护主义者与科学界之间就动物实验进一步监管的必要性和可取性所产生争议的本质。我们批判性地审视了现有的联邦和州监管环境，并讨论了一些关于规范科学实验中动物使用的新联邦立法提案。我们识别并讨论了包含争议核心问题的三个因素，并以此提出一个用于分析动物实验监管方案的概念框架。最后，我们讨论了这种监管对动物实验的影响，并得出结论，即这种监管既无必要也不可取。
