Who Cares About Mice and Rats?
Every day, mice and rats die in our nation’s laboratories—without even the most basic protections of federal law. Like dogs and cats, these animals feel pain, and studies show that they are clever and great mothers and that they would risk their own lives to save their friends. But even though mice and rats make up 95 percent of all animals used in experimentation, they are specifically excluded from the Animal Welfare Act, the only federal law offering any sort of protection for animals in laboratories. Watch PETA’s new “Who Cares?” video to learn more about these wonderful animals and learn how you can help them using the form below. Other Viewing Options Stream this video:
