Safeguards and Service – Striking the Right Balance
This webinar discusses striking the right balance between safeguards and services in animal ethics and care programs. Institutions, and their very busy animal care committees, staff, researchers, and veterinarians, all have to juggle proper safeguards for animals with maintaining good services for those conducting animal-based research and teaching, avoiding irritants, and minimizing burden for all involved.
