Humane Canada believes that experiments
and activities involving
live animals should be limited to observations of the
normal living patterns, behaviour,
growth,
and development of domestic animals, or wild animals in the free
living state or in those zoos or aquaria which maintain animals in suitable naturalistic environments which meet the health, emotional
and behavioural needs of each species of animal.
