    Area of Science:

    • Animal research regulations
    • Biomedical ethics
    • Scientific policy

    Background:

    • The Israeli Knesset amended the Cruelty to Animals Act in 1994 to regulate experimental animal use.
    • Animal experiments are permitted only for specific scientific and medical purposes when alternatives are unavailable.

    Discussion:

    • The National Board for Animal Experimentation oversees and approves institutions, researchers, and experiments.
    • In 2000, approximately 250,000 animals were used, predominantly rodents, with academic institutions accounting for 74% of usage.

    Key Insights:

    • The law mandates that animal experiments serve defined scientific, medical, or educational goals.
    • A multi-stakeholder board ensures compliance and ethical oversight in animal research.
    • Data from 2000 reveals a high volume of animal use, primarily in academic settings.

    Outlook:

    • Future research will compare Israeli animal use data with international trends.
    • Ongoing evaluation of the effectiveness and ethical implications of the current regulatory framework is essential.
