This advice note provides information about how the UK Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 (ASPA) requirements affect scientific or educational work using animals taken from the wild, including feral and stray animals. This includes information about:
- methods of capture
- identification (ringing, tagging or marking animals)
- working with animals at places which are not ASPA licensed establishments
- setting animals free in the course of regulated procedures which have not yet ended
- legal and licensing requirements
Since the UK Act has been revised in order to transpose the EU Directive 2010/63, this document is of interest to other European countries also.
