The knowledge we gain about animals and people through research
needs to be passed on, now and in the future, to those who are or who will become:
Doctors, nurses and other human health
professionals.
Animal care personnel, veterinarians,
farmers, conservation managers, zoo keepers and others engaged in
animal-related activities.
School, TAFE and university
teachers; researchers in animal-based science.
Anyone interested in how his or her own
body works or in what the welfare needs of animals are, and those
interested in the coexistence of animals and people.
All such education involves describing, explaining and
demonstrating how the bodies of animals and people work and how the
functions of the body can be modified to benefit animals or people.
Teachers are required to apply the Three Rs
Principle whenever they consider using animals during a teaching
exercise.
