Animals in Research & Education
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.
