But the regulations on animal experiments under the Animal Protection Law are being drafted by the COA mainly on the basis of advice from the NLABRC. Thus, as well as researchers fearing that their work will be bogged down in bureaucracy, some worry that with the NLABRC acting as "both player and referee," the law will turn out to be ineffectual.
但此舉除了有科研人員擔心會影響科學研究的效率；目前動保法施行細則與實驗動物相關條文的擬定，農委會主要徵詢國家實驗動物中心的意見，也被視為「球員兼裁判」，法令可能口惠而不實。
