Here's an article about an increase in animal experiments at Cardiff University in Wales. In four years it experimented on 157,839 mice, 17,324 rats, 11,096 fish, 1,941 birds, 1,253 guineapigs, 933 pigeons, 884 frogs, 207 cats, 54 rabbits and 18 tree shrews from the tropics of south-east Asia.
On the other hand, kids that don’t get the experience of having a pet early may become afraid of animals, especially if their parents don’t particularly care for animals. I got my first pets, mice and guineapigs, when I was 8. For these folks, I recommend a nontraditional pet like a rat or a guineapig.
If you’re a pet owner, you know from experience how tricky it can be finding places to live (other than buying a house) where you’re allowed to own pets. And while many are similar, there are always certain things that set the best ones apart from the rest. One of these things is how the retirement community regards its residents owning pets.
They did not experiment on primates (I asked!), but did experiment on mice and guineapigs. Interesting that many of the grants this place gets specifically say they can't experiment on any domesticated animals (cats and dogs I guess.). Weird, weird, weird. Just thinking about it makes me crave a shower.
