Invasive “Rat Research” Should be Abolished Once and for All

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

(Before It's News)

Despite the fact that the federal Animal Welfare Act in the U. S. does not consider rats of the genus Rattus, and mice of the genus Mus, to be animals — no kidding — they surely are, and they should be protected from harm and suffering incurred in invasive and abusive research. In fact, to get this most-needed discussion going, I and others call for abolishing their use.

  • “Rat Research” Should be Abolished Once and for All!! I agree, we should instead use POLITICIANS! Once someone is voted into office, they are immediately subject to any and all experimentation,.. they “and their families” shall not be allowed to eat anything but GMO foods, they shall be forced to breath the exhaust of the airliners that expel “what politicians call contrails but we all know as chemtrails” They “and their families” SHALL be IMMEDIATELY vaccinated using all known vaccinations and receive yearly booster and flu shots, they shall also receive all experimental vaccines released for public vaccination.
    Any politician that endorses global warming shall pay their entire paycheck in taxes to cover their beliefs!
    Any politician that endorses war, shall immediately armed with a rifle, latest camo, ammo and dropped into the war zone they chose to war against. they shall not be allowed to return until peace is established!
