	Animal Welfare Act-Comments
		ASNS opposes AWA regulation of rats and mice because it is (1) unnecessary from the perspective of animal welfare, and (2) will impose significant administrative and financial burdens on researchers and the USDA.
		AWA regulation is not needed to provide humane care standards for the vast majority of rats and mice, which are already being cared for in accordance with the ILAR Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.
		If animals that are bred for the purpose of research, such as rodents, are included then the work days dedicated to animal inspection are likely to triple in order to inspect each room and facility adequately on an annual basis.

	NABR Animal Law §ection - Animal Welfare Act
		The Act does not apply to all animals in captivity and is limited to certain animals in certain industries, i.e., in the pet trade, in research, and on exhibition, such as in zoos and circuses, and to certain animals during transportation in interstate and foreign commerce.
		First, an appropriate jurisdictional limitation for a citizen's suit provision under the AWA would be to limit access to the courts to claims of violation of standards and regulations that relate directly to the care and welfare of the animals.
		Fifth, as to available remedies, in light of the nature of the Animal Welfare Act and the wide variety of behavior it regulates, it would be appropriate to permit citizen's suits to seek both injunctions and civil penalties, payable to the government [FN34] to address both ongoing and past violations.
