Abstract		Background All experimental animal protection legislation is based on the premise that, under certain conditions, it is morally acceptable to use animals for experimental and other scientific purposes. Directive on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States regarding the protection of animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes (86/609/EEC) adopted in T 986, was one of the key international acts, which has started to regulate the legislation on the protection of experimental animals in Europe. It has a legal force and therefore obligates all member states of European Union to implement its provisions through their national legislation. However, in Slovenia the field of the protection of experimental animals has actually started to regulate with the adoption of the Animal Protection Act and othersubsidiary legal acts that define legitimate purposes and conditions on which animals for experimental purposes may be used. Conclusions The aim of this article is to introduce in brief the presentsituation in the field of experimental animal protection legislation in Slovenia. At the same time, we would like to warn the reader, that the legislation is both an interpretative and dynamic subject, constantly changing and developing, because the ethic and the legal criteria of the society depend on the time and the space in which we live.
Summary		Izhodišča Vsa zakonodaja na področju zaščite poskusnih živali izhaja iz osnovnega načela, da je pod določenimi pogoji moralno sprejemljivo uporabiti živali v poskusne in druge znanstvene namene. V letu 1986 izdana Direktiva 86/609/EGS o približevanju zakonov in drugih predpisov držav članic o varstvu živali, ki se uporabljajo v poskusne in druge znanstvene namene, je eden ključnih internacionalnih predpisov, ki je začel urejati zakonodajo o zaščiti živali v poskusne namene v Evropi. Ker ima zakonodajno moč, obvezuje vse države članice Evropske unije, da uresničijo predpisane zahteve z nacionalno zakonodajo. Toda področje zaščite poskusnih živali se je v Sloveniji začelo dejansko urejati šele na podlagi Zakona o zaščiti živali in drugih podzakonskih aktov, ki določajo, v kakšne namene in pod katerimi pogoji je uporaba živali v poskusih dovoljena. Zaključki S člankom želimo na kratko predstaviti sedaj veljavno ureditev zaščite živali v poskusne namene v Sloveniji. Sočasno pa bi radi bralce opozorili, da je zakonodaja tako irnterpretativno kot dinamično področje, ki se nenehno spreminja in razvija, saj so etična in zakonodajna merila družbe odvisna od časa in prostora, v katerem se nahajamo.
