	Animal Research in Psychology
		On other fronts, psychologists have developed behavioral methods for screening compounds in laboratory animals and are active in developing new drugs used in the treatment of such disorders as anxiety, schizophrenia, and depression.
		Animal research also has contributed to efforts to help animals, such as in programs to reestablish populations of endangered or threatened species, in designing appropriate living conditions and enhancing the well-being of captive animals, and in developing humane methods of animal control in the wild.
		Animals may not be obtained and studies may not be conducted unless the IACUC has approved the protocol for its adherence to Federal guidelines for appropriate and humane use of animals.

	Animal Lab News®- Commisioning: Laboratory Animal Facilities, Dan Frasier, March/April 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		s today’s laboratories and laboratory animal facilities become increasingly complex and demanding, a proven commissioning process is becoming more common in the construction of these facilities because of the short and long term benefits commissioning offers.
		The latter document is generated by a committee familiar with regulations on animal care and use and with the facility requirements needed to meet the recommendations addressed in the Guide.
		Most of today’s laboratory animal facilities are grossly undersized, due to the tremendous growth in animal population.

	Animal testing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The earliest references to animal testing are found in the writings of the Greeks in the third and fourth centuries BC, with Aristotle (384-322 BC) and Erasistratus (304-258 BC) among the first to perform experiments on living animals (Cohen and Loew 1984).
		Animal experiments are regulated by one clause in the 2000 Law for the Humane Treatment and Management of Animals [39] (pdf), which requires those using animals to cause minimal distress and suffering.
		Animals have shorter life and reproductive spans, meaning that several generations can be studied in a relatively short time.
