Europese Overeenkomst voor de bescherming van gewervelde dieren die worden gebruikt voor experimentele en andere wetenschappelijke doeleinden, zoals gewijzigd door het Protocol tot wijziging
1. At the end of a procedure it shall be decided whether the animal shall be kept alive or killed by a humane method. An animal shall not kept alive if, even though it has been restored to normal health in all other respects, it is likely to remain in lasting pain or distress.
2. The decisions referred to in paragraph 1 of this article shall be taken by a competent person, in particular a veterinarian, or the person who, in accordance with Article 13, is responsible for, or has performed, the procedure.
3. Where, at the end of a procedure:
a. an animal is to be kept alive, it shall receive the care appropriate to its state of health, be placed under the supervision of a veterinarian or other competent person and kept under conditions conforming to the requirements of Article 5. The conditions laid down in this sub-paragraph may, however, be waived where, in the opinion of a veterinarian, the animal would not suffer as a consequence of such exemption;
b. an animal is not to be kept alive or cannot benefit from the provisions of Article 5 for its well-being, it shall be killed by a humane method as soon as possible.
4. No animal which has been used in a procedure entailing severe or enduring pain or suffering, irrespective of whether anaesthesia or analgesia was employed, shall be used in a further procedure unless it has returned to good health and well-being, and either:
a. the further procedure is one in which the animal is subject throughout to general anaesthesia which is to be maintained until the animal is killed; or
b. the further procedure will involve minor interventions only.
