Comment 1: I am strongly opposed to adoption of the 8th edition of the Guide in its present form. Some of the mandatory requirements (e.g. housing, use of non-pharmaceutical grade drugs) are either unreasonable or impossible to follow without a dramatic adverse impact on the integrity of certain types of behavioral science. In many ways, the new Guide represents and intrusion into second-guessing the scientific and professional judgment of investigators and veterinarians in their fields of research.
