This is poster number nineteen and the title is Recognizing Humane Principles of Animal Research. This aqua blue poster displays three culturally diverse cartoon-like animal care staff on the bottom left hand side of the poster looking up at an award in the center. Opposite them on the bottom right side are a monkey, rabbit, mouse, and a frog, seemingly reading the award. The award is a wooden and brass plaque that is inscribed with 45th Anniversary of The Principles of Humane Experimental Technique (asterisk shown on poster). Under the inscription are the words Reduction, Refinement, Replacement which describe the basic tenants of the Principles. At the bottom of the poster the authors of the Principles are cited as follows - Russell, W.M.S. & Burch, R.L. (1959) The Principles of Humane Experimentation Technique, London, U.K: Methuen. If available, gently used copies can be requested from the NIH Office of Animal Care and Use at SecOACU@od.nih.gov . The subtitle at the bottom of the poster is, A Program Sponsored by The NIH Animal Research Advisory Committee, 301-496-5424. The DHHS, NIH and OACU logos are also shown on the poster.
