Access through your institution Buy or subscribe We agree with both Dr. Villanueva and Dr. Collins; therefore, if we were members of the Great Eastern University (GEU) IACUC, we would


request an internal review of the situation. On one hand, Dr. Villanueva is Great Eastern University’s attending veterinarian (AV) and, thus, the institution’s resident animal expert. His


opinion should carry weight in this situation. The IACUC should give consideration to the fact that Dr. Villanueva has seen a visual presentation (via video) of the surgical procedure and


ensuing care, which suggests that the procedure does not cause pain or distress in the animals. However, because he has not personally evaluated post-operative animals, he should be open to


doing so. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution ADDITIONAL ACCESS OPTIONS: * Log in * Learn about
