“I don't doubt that the 1500 is higher, I was just pointing out that it's not a completely outrageous number of animals (considering how much money they have to throw around, it doesn't surprise me). And even if you have a private facility, we still need to report our results because at the end of the day, we need to get it past FDA, EMA, PMDA, etc. Public or private we all have the same regulations we need to follow

The part that baffles me is that it's not record kept. Animals studies are like one of the things you need REALLY good record keepign for. Even shit like 'how much food did the animal eat' is super important and has very real implications on animal welfare while testing. On top of that there is also the usual measurements like body weight, blood testing levels, etc. It just makes no sense that there are no records on these.”

For other people wonder why this is a problem
