Regimento e protocolo

Abstract

O workshop Sucessos e Vicissitudes das CEUAs reuniu em novembro de 2013 representantes de todas as regiões brasileiras com o intuito de discutir os avanços alcançados na implementação e consolidação de suas comissões. O evento destacou os novos desafios que devem ser superados para o aprimoramento dos órgãos que visam a zelar pela conduta ética na utilização de animais com finalidades científica e acadêmica. Neste texto são apresentados os dados fornecidos pelas CEUAs participantes bem como as opiniões e decisões resultantes do debate a respeito da implementação e consolidação dos regimentos e protocolos.

“…The analysis did not show great discrepancies between private and public institutions, even in the face of recognised specificities of conception and management 26 .

In this context it is necessary to reflect on the limits between the inspecting and educational roles of Ceua and the research institution 15,16,25 . There is no doubt that the legislation promoted improvements, as can be attested by data from this and other research 15,16,25 .…”

There is no doubt that the legislation promoted improvements, as can be attested by data from this and other research 15,16,25 . However, Ceua members have questioned whether the increase of bureaucracy and the pressure for legal compliance coupled with severe penalties have not gradually removed the bioethics of the Comissão de Ética no Uso de Animais (Ethical Commission on the Use of Animals -Ceua) 15 .…”

The animal welfare pioneer instrument dates back to 1965 and refers to the Brambell Committee 16 .…”
