: The Canadian Council on Animal Care is currently developing guidelines on
: the care and use of wildlife, and would appreciate hearing your comments on
: the draft version. These guidelines are comprised of two parts: general
: guidelines; and species-specific recommendations. The species specific
: recommendations dealing with amphibians and reptiles are posted here for
: your convenience. These recommendation should be considered alongside the
: general guidelines on wildlife which are currently posted in draft form on
: our website (http://www.ccac.ca).
: Please send us your comments on the species-specific recommendations by
: March 11, 2002. As you will notice, there are some areas where references
: and information are lacking (particularly in the area of acceptable
: medical/surgical procedures) and we would appreciate guidance to suitable
: references or science-based evidence. Additionally, comments on the
: general guidelines are also welcome and these should reach us by March 25,
: 2002. All responses received will be evaluated by the CCAC subcommittee
: on wildlife and used to draft the final version of the guidelines, prior to
: approval by the CCAC Council and publication.
: Responses should be forwarded to Gilly Griffin, PhD, Director of Guidelines
: Development: ggriffin@ccac.ca .
