Comment 1: The idea that "human-grade" pharmaceuticals be required for animal research is not nessary, nor desirable as such a requirement will hamper, rather than promote research in addition to being expensive. I am all for improving the conditions for husbandry but sometimes keeping animals in single cages is the only way of controlling the study. The same goes for water and/or food restriction. Comment 2: These guidelines should be discussed much more before implementation. Thus, in my view 2012 is way too early.
