Download or read book The Simple Guide Small Animal Care written by Dennis Nuzzo and published by Digital Revolution Media. This book was released on with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you been thinking of bringing a new pet into your family? If you have, do you realize that it does not have to be something big like a dog? You can also have the option of going with a smaller mammal. A few examples would be a gerbil or a hamster or maybe even a rabbit or a rat. One common reason people choose smaller mammals as a pet is if they are restricted with the amount of space they have for a pet. A prime example would be something living in a small apartment in the inner city. Chances are that there would not be enough room in the apartment for a dog to be comfortable and have room to play. On top of that, it can be a real hassle walking a dog up and down stairs to take them outside and some dogs will require training to be able to walk in the city without problems. Training can be costly and the entire experience of having a dog in a small apartment can be full of hassles so in this situation it is probably better to go with a smaller pet. If your children have been begging you for a pet you might want to start out with a smaller animal. Fish can be boring and children can lose their interest and forget about them in no time. At the same time, a dog can be way too much responsibility for a child, especially if they are young and it is there first pet. The perfect option for a child as their first pet would be an animal such as a hamster or gerbil. Let Us Know What You Think!

Download or read book Statistics of scientific procedures on living animals written by Great Britain. Home Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2004 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This annual publication contains data on animal experimentation carried out during 2003, subject to the provisions of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. Under this Act, any scientific procedure carried out on any living vertebrate animal, and one species of octopus, which is likely to cause pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm is a regulated procedure requiring licence authority. The data is structured to comply with EU requirements, although it is far more extensive than required by Europe. In 2003, there were 2.79 million scientific procedures conducted, an increase of 2.2 per cent on the previous year. Most experiments and tests were conducted on mice, rats and other rodents (85 per cent), with the remainder on birds (four per cent) and fish (six per cent). Dogs, cats, horses and non-human primates (usually macaques and marmosets) combined amounted to less than one per cent of procedures. Genetically modified animals were used in 27 per cent of cases, an increase of one per cent on 2002 and 19 per cent on 1995). Non-toxicological procedures accounted for 84 per cent of procedures, with the main areas of use being for immunological studies, pharmaceutical research and development, and cancer research.
