Comment 1: I completely support the content of the draft letter that you have or will soon receive from NABR. I find the 2010 Guide to be detrimental to science, biomedical research and the nation's commitment to improving the health and well-being of its citizens and the citizens of the world. Although I cannot materially improve upon the excellent points made in the NABR letter, I would like to add one observation. Whereas the OLAW FAQ notes that deviations from recommended cage requirements be documented and based upon scientific or veterinary data, no such condition was applied to developing these cage recommendations in the first place.
