Comment 1: No - this should not be adopted. This will lead to additional expenses to the institution and the investigators with no real enhancement of animal welfare. This will also cause an additional paperwork burden to the investigator Comment 2: One area where this could lead to a major problem is with the requirement to use pharmaceutic preparation of drugs in animals. These steps will not increase animal welfare (particularly in the use of drugs like pentobarbital for non-survival surgery or euthanasia), but will lead to astronomical increases in the costs to the investigators.
