The American Association for the Accreditation of Laboratory Animal have set a “gold standard” for laboratory care to assure animals are treated in the best conditions. For those scientist that perform animal research, such as the Society for Neuroscience and the Federation of Societies of Experimental Biology, also have ethical standards and guidelines to which their members must adhere. A researcher cannot be labeled a murderer anymore than a farmer that kills a hog to feed his family.
