Animals in Research & Education - FASEB Policy Statements

The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) affirms  the essential contribution of animals in research and education aimed at  improving the health of both humans and animals. The role of animals remains  critical in understanding the fundamental processes of life, and in developing  treatments for injury and disease. Members of the Constituent Societies of FASEB  believe that the use of animals in research and education is a privilege. This  imposes a major responsibility to provide for their proper care and humane  treatment. Good animal care and good science go hand-in-hand. In supporting  these principles, it becomes the responsibility of the members of the  Constituent Societies of FASEB to educate the public about the role of animals  in understanding life processes and disease, and their vital contribution to  human and animal health.
