Comment 1: I believe that the changes to mouse cage housing are unwarranted by any scientific data and represent a new and unreasonable added cost to valuable scientific research. At a time when funding is difficult, these added costs make finding cures and treatments for diseases more difficult. I have bred and cared for mice for over 20 years as a researcher. There is no basis for the increased area demanded by these new regulations.
