WHERE THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO THE USE OF ANIMALS IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EXPERIMENTS ARE WELL DESIGNED AND CORRECTLY ANALYSED IN ORDER TO MINIMISE PAIN AND MAXIMIZE THE CHANCE OF GETTING SCIENTIFICALLY VALID RESULTS. EXPERIMENTS THAT USE TOO FEW ANIMALS MAY FAIL TO PICK UP BIOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT EFFECTS, WHILE THOSE WHO USE THEM INCORRECTLY OR WASTEFULLY MAY GET INVALID RESULTS WHILE SUBJECTING THE ANIMALS TO UNNECESSARY PAIN, DISTRESS OR LASTING HARM.
