Animais são utilizados em experimentos científicos desde a antigüidade. Inúmeras investigações utilizando animais foram e continuam sendo realizadas até os dias atuais. Muitas descobertas na área biomédica, como a pressão sangüínea, por exemplo, resultaram de experimentações em animais. Não existe no Brasil nenhuma legislação específica que regulamente o uso de animais para fins experimentais, ao contrário de outros países. Do ponto de vista ético, os animais utilizados em pesquisas científicas devem ser tratados de forma adequada, sendo que os pesquisadores têm o dever de evitar a dor e o sofrimento desnecessários.
Since ancient times, animals have been used in scientific experiments and continue being used in numerous medical investigations. Research with animal models has been fundamental for findings in the biomedical area, such as blood pressure regulation, for example. Contrarily to many countries that have laws regulating research with animal models, there is no such legislation in Brazil. Animals used in research models should be treated appropriately and researchers must avoid unnecessary pain and suffering.
