It is fantastic to see a major research funding body like the NIH taking serious action against an animal housing facility because of welfare and ethics concerns. While some may feel that the time taken was too long, it is important to recognise the significance of the step they took. Housing and breeding facilities in other jurisdictions should take note of the implications and consequences of failing to meet welfare and ethical expectations.
