There's no legal requirement here, it's just standard IRB stuff. If you run a slaughterhouse, nobody is making you count the chickens you kill.

- iancmceachern 4y agoThank you, it's not an IRB in the case of an animal, it's a different acronym (though not a classic FDA TLA, three letter acronym). It's a IACUC, https://irb.utah.edu/guidelines/fda-requirements/animals.php#:~:text=The%20IRB%20reviews%20research%20that,IACUC%20and%20complete%20an%20application https://irb.utah.edu/guidelines/fda-requirements/animals.php.... So a similar process, similar requirement, just called something different.
