Refinement of the use of nonhuman primates in scientific research (2006)

Rennie, A. E., Buchanan-Smith, H. M.

Abstract

In part I: We examine the influence of humans on non-human primates and summarise and evaluate methods of refinement that are or could be used to reduce suffering and improve welfare. In particular we focus on staff selection, education and training, human-animal bonds, staff communication, and training primates.
