Mrs. Desmond, Mr. Timmons

Note: Attached is a note describing the nature of the conditions imposed by the various categories of certificates.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Licence alone

If the Licence is held alone without Certificate, the animal must be kept in anaesthesia throughout the whole of the experiment, and if the pain is likely to continue after the effect of the anaesthetic has ceased, or if any serious injury has been inflicted on the animal, it must be killed before the anaesthesia has passed off.

Certificate A

dispenses altogether from the obligation to use anaesthetic. It is necessary in cases of simple inoculation but not involving any surgical operation.

Certificate B

dispenses from the obligation to kill the animal before the anaesthesia has passed off. It is necessary whenever the initial operation is to be done under anaesthetic, but the animal is to be allowed to survive.

Certificate C

is necessary for experiments illustrating Lectures.

Certificate E

is never held alone, but is necessary whenever any experiment is to be performed on a Dog or Cat under Certificate A.

Certificate EE

is never held alone, but is necessary whenever any experiment is to be performed on a Dog or Cat under Certificate B.

Certificate F

is necessary whenever any experiment is to be performed on a Horse, Ass

or Mule.
