Wabash College is committed to the proper and humane treatment of all animal research subjects. All members of the College — faculty, staff, and students alike — are expected to show respect and regard for any living creature subjected to investigative procedure.
Unnecessary pain to any creature is to be avoided. Awareness and discussion of these issues are part of the professional development and responsibility of faculty and the education of students.
