Dear [email address],
Thank you for asking me to clarify what I am asking for, I am seeking information about any procedures undertaken on animals that fall outside those defined in the 1986 ASPA and its amendments at the university and are not subject to the project licences required for regulated procedures.

for example:
Breeding wild type animals (i.e. ones that are not genetically modified).
Wild type animals perhaps killed for tissue collection
Wild type animals used for colony health screening.

Wild animals as defined by the home office.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

caroline betts
