The Use of Animals in Biology Education [http://www.uc.twsu.edu/~obswww/nabt.html] This site is the location of a short statement issued by the National Association of Biology Teachers in 1995 regarding this organizations position on the use of animals in the biology classroom.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals [http://www.envirolink.org/arrs/peta/index.html] PETA is the largest animal rights organization in the world. "PETA is dedicated to establishing and protecting the rights of all animals. PETA operates under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment."
American Anti-Vivisection Society [http://www.aavs.org/] This is the homepage of a society whose goals are to end vivisection.
Americans for Medical Progress [http://www.ampef.org/index.html] This is the homepage of a society formed to counteract the influrence of PETA and protect the right to use animals in research.
