handle is hein.animal/bpnedp0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A Bill to Prevent Needless Pain Here are current examples of suffering which S.1233 and H.R.2653 would prevent. S.1233 and H.R.2653 ARE NEEDED TO PREVENT INTENSE PAIN AND PROLONGED DISTRESS WHICH IN NO WAY CONTRIBUTES TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE. 1) On Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m., two dogs fresh from surgery, still unconscious, were left in a room full of other caged dogs, with no provision for care as they came out of anesthesia or for needed atten- tion over the weekend. N S.1233 and H.R.2653 mandate pre- and post-surgical care. They call for use of pain-relieving drugs to minimize animal pain and distress. * . .~ * - .~...---. . ..x. A monkey is held rigidly in a blood-spattered restraining chair. Note the dried blood which has seeped from around the area where the brain has been exposed and implanted with electrodes and other devices. 2) Failure of government agencies to avoid duplicative testing by checking with one another has led to massive waste of taxpayers' money. The animals used in such tests, many of them painful and lethal, suffered to no purpose whatever. The head of the In- teragency Regulatory Liaison Group stated: If a single test, done with a given procedure, would satisfy all of the agencies' requirements, there would be significant savings. It may reach billions of dollars. U S.1233 and H.R.2653 would establish an in- formation service at the National Agricultural Library in cooperation with the National Library of Medicine to prevent unintended duplication, and to provide information on alternatives to animals.
