Abstract
The use of animals in scientific experiments has
been, and will be, vital for human life and, from the
benefits obtained from these research works, the
animal wellbeing that influences public health will
be achieved. Animals have made easier, for the
science, the knowledge of biology and physiology to
diagnose and make the treatments that improve the
life quality of human beings. Therefore, the use of
animals in experiments and learning must be made
respectfully and with consideration for the animal´s
reactions and its ethology. For this purpose, there
are rules that have been widely spread all over the
world and, despite the fact they are theoretically
well sustained, they have not been well interiorized
by humans, regarding the responsibility they have
towards other beings living in the planet. The ethical
committees for experimentation with animals in our
country make big efforts to make a bioethical use of
animals in scientific experiments possible, but there
is still a long way to go from their decisions to the
realities currently taking place in research works.
