2016 Guidelines of the American Society of Mammalogists for the use of wild mammals in research and education

Advances in the study of mammals—from exploring physiological functions to understanding evolutionary relationships and developing management strategies—are predicated
on responsible use of animals in research. Founded in April
1919, the American Society of Mammalogists (ASM) is deeply
concerned with the welfare of mammals and, in particular,
the persistence of natural communities of organisms. In 1928,
Joseph Grinnell—one of the founders of the ASM—instructed
administrators of Yosemite National Park to maintain the Park
as a natural mammalian community without unnecessary or
destructive development.
