- True
- The use of animals for experimental research is a privelage extended by society extended to research institutions and their staff.

- NIH
- National Institute of Health-the primary granting agency through which the US conducts and supports biomedical research
- NSF
- National Science Foundation-federal agency created to develop and encourage the promotion of basic research in mathmatics, physics, medicine, biology,and behavorial and other sciences.
- USDA

The United States Department of Agriculture requires that institutions in which certain species of experimental animals are used must be registered and must meet the standards created by the Animal welfare Act.

- Laws that regulate importation and shipment of animals are written to protect human beings and the enviroment from potential harmful effects of disease carrying animals.

NIH GUIDE
AAALAC -
the Guide for the care and use of laboratory Animals
provides basic information on animal use for researchers
the standard used by theamerican association for the Accreditation of Lab animal care - The AAALAC uses the NIH guide or care and use of laboratory animals as a basis for site visiting animal facilities and evaluating the research being conducted in them
