Comment 1: Please do not adopt this edition of the guide for the care and use of laboratory animals. We are over regulated as it is and this adds an additional unnecessary burden on the investigator. At this point the largest cost in any lab doing animal work is animal husbandry, these measures will further increase that cost and limit what can be done experimentally. At a time when science is falling behind in this country due to the previous administrations lack of funding it seems like a huge burden to further decrease our ability to do our work. Comment 2: Please push back the date to 2015 and gather empirical evidence that these measures would actually benefit anyone.
