Comment 1: i do not believe these standards for lab care of animals are humane at all. you can see the video of the way lab animals are actually kept. those pictures are all over the web on youtube of the abuse to lab animals. i want higher standards. i do not want th eindustry to set standards because they will always want to continue abusing animals. i want humane animal protectors to be brought in to upgrade the standards. the standards are lax and abusive. i think the time to comment should be extended. i would like to have a paper copy sent to me to comment in more detail because i have no access to the lab standards in some obscure book. Comment 2: all use of lab animals should be stopped immediately. i think mice and rats are the only animals i would allow to be used in experiments. no other animal should ever be used. the fact is that there are other testing methods that are more accurate, cheaper and more relevant to people than this stupid use of animals which dates from l500 a.d. it is amazing that just becuase profiteers make money from this disgusting industry that scientific minds continue to allow it to continue. that shows a real problem with scientific minds these days. they have no common sense at all.
