Comment 1: No. It is unclear how the eighth edition of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals will benefit animal welfare. There is no clear scientific justification for the proposed policy changes, which will undoubtedly increase the cost of animal research to both individuals and institutions and will increase the amount of animals required for sound basic research.
