Legislación para el uso de animales de laboratorio en Costa Rica

Abstract

Los animales de laboratorio se usan como análogos a las enfermedades humanas, tanto en gnotobiología, investigación dental, embriología y teratología, oncología, gerontología, investigación cardiovascular, inmunología, parasitología, virología, nutrición, genética y farmacología. Aunque en Costa Rica, la ciencia de animales de laboratorio es apenas incipiente, no existe información sobre los animales, la cantidad y para qué deberían de usarse. En Costa Rica rige desde el 13 de diciembre de 1994 la “Ley de Bienestar de los Animales”, pero sin embargo esta Ley deja sin definir importantes aspectos técnicos y de control del uso de los animales de experimentación. Debería de existir un manual de referencia, aprobado por una Autoridad Nacional competente, sobre el manejo y uso de animales de laboratorio y, principalmente, cursos sobre ética y técnica del uso de este reactivo biológico dirigido a los investigadores. La legislación sobre el uso de animales de laboratorio en algunos países como los Estdos Unidos, Inglaterra, Canadá, Suecia, Colombia, Australia y Alemania son más estrictas. Sin embargo en Costa Rica desde 1992 se presentó un proyecto de Ley que pretendía regular los derechos de los animales proclamados en la Declaración Universal de los derechos del animal, pero en la actualidad se encuentra archivado. Sin embargo en 1993 fue publicado en la Gaceta Nº 242 del 20 de diciembre de 1993 el proyecto “Ley de Bienestar y Etiología de los Animales”, que no tiene ningún antecedente directo en realción al uso de animales de laboratorio en Costa Rica pero desarrolla el marco jurídico de la Declaración Universal de los Derechos del Animal, proclamada por las Ligas Nacionales afiliadas a la ONU y aun no suscrita por Costa Rica.

Laboratory animals are used like analogs to the human diseases, just as much in gnotobiology, dental investigation, embriology and teratology, oncology, gerontology, cardiovascular investigation, inmunology, parasitology, virology, nutrition, genetics and pharmacology. Even though in Costa Rica, the science of laboratory animals is barely incipient, there is no existing information about animals, the quantity and what are they supposed to be used to. Since december 13th. 1994 a law was imposed in Costa Rica, the law is called “Law of animals welfare”, however has left undefined important technical aspects and the experimental use of animales. There should be a reference manual, approved by a competent National Authority, about the handling and use of laboratory animals and mainly courses about ethics and techniques of the uses of this biologic reagent directed to the investigators. The legislature about the use of animals of laboratory in some countries like the United States, England, Canada, Switzerland, Colombia, Australia and Germany are more estrict. However, since 1992, in Costa Rica soil there was presented a bill that intented to regulate the animals rights proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Animal rights, but nowadays is found archivated. However in 1993 was published in “La Gaceta” N° 242 on December 20th the bill called “Law of Welfare and Etiology of the animals”, has no direct record to the highlight to the use of laboratory animals in Costa Rica but develops the juridic frame of the Universal Declaration of Animal rights, proclaimed by the National Leagues afiliated to the ONU and yet not suscrited in Costa Rica.
