2) THE PERSONAL LICENCE
The person actually carrying out the research on the animal must first
obtain a personal licence by attending the appropriate training courses and
passing the relevant examinations. They must be qualified to:
- Work on a particular species of animal
- Carry out the specific procedure required
- Work only to the levels of suffering for the animals laid down in the project licence.
The suffering is classed as mild, moderate or severe. Very few procedures involving
severe levels of suffering are allowed in the UK
