| Background 
         
        Use 
          of vertebrate animals in our programs of research, teaching and testing 
          is a privilege, not a right! 
          
 
Purdue's 
          ability, and the abilities of individual Purdue faculty, students and 
          staff, to exercise this privilege depends on our acceptance of a set 
          of institutional and personal responsibilities, 
          which are established by federal law, the polices of federal agencies, 
          and Purdue policy.
