We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds and other "pests," and the abuse of backyard dogs. PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns. </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.psyeta.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.psyeta.org"><U><B>PSYETA</B></U></A></div> <div> Organization promoting animal welfare in psychology.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.apa.org/research/responsible/research-animals.pdf" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.apa.org/research/responsible/"><U><B>Research with Animals in Psychology</B></U></A></div> <div> The reasons for animal use in research as outlined by APA.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.ccac.ca" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ccac.ca"><U><B>The Canadian Council on Animal Care</B></U></A></div> <div> An interesting site on the care and use of animals.  Includes an international workshop on development of science-based guidelines for laboratory animal care; and, facts and figures on animal use in research.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
