Summary: | The language and subject matter offered in this issue of the ILAR Journal represent a departure from standard discourse on research animal welfare. Although the overall character of such a departure will become evident, the contributions herein reinforce and expand upon the shared, established tenets of research animal welfare. Through the work and experience of contributing wildlife research professionals, this issue of the ILAR Journal offers a diverse consortium of wildlife topics ranging from policy to conservation to disease investigation, all against the backdrop of the complexities of effective compliance and oversight when the research subjects are wild. The articles provide insights into the complex dynamic that is animal welfare in the framework of wildlife research from diverse perspectives. Material presented in this issue contributes to our existing philosophies on research animal welfare while simultaneously introducing the research animal professional to new perspectives, hopefully allowing us all to walk a familiar, well-trodden path with new eyes. The express aim of the issue is to introduce traditional oversight personnel to a deeper understanding of the topics covered herein. |
