Midway, which was once a military facility, has long had mice and it once had rats, though they were eradicated in 1996. In 2015, mice suddenly started attacking albatrosses sitting on nests and attacks have been steadily increasing since. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) wants to eradicate all of the mice on Midway.

As a bonus, they are often heavily visited and as a consequence the birds found in them are used to large numbers of people having picnics, regarding begonias, dating, courting, playing Frisbee, and are therefore untroubled by humans regarding them carefully. I have seen unconcerned Cape Grey Mongoose and Four-striped Mice though.

So, for example, humans are apes. Fortunately for we humans, placing primates properly phylogenetically in relation to the other mammals requires an act or two of faith at the deeper ends of the family tree, but it is probably true that primates and rodents share a common stock to the exclusion of others, so maybe we are all mice.

But many researchers - although adamant that animal research remains critical to finding cures and expanding medical knowledge - have come to concede that using creatures as human stand-ins is unnecessary for many procedures. Plus, animals are messy, require feeding and constant care, draw protests, and, yes, can be a bit smelly.

If you believe your dog has a right to a life free of torture and slaughter for no reason, then you really ought to think about extending that right to mice, rats, chickens and fish. So there are more vegans and fewer animals used by humans, right? Weighing the Impact At some level, PETA’s tactics have worked.

Latimer refers to his previous two posts where he has "documented the ethical and moral shallowness of the 'animal rights' credo itself, which is based more on an anti-human self hatred, taking the form of a 'moral' squeamishness concerned more with stamping out human 'cruelty,' no matter what the social or economic costs might be.

We started feeding mice, mealworms, and even some wild bird mix and leftovers, as they are scavengers. We released live mice into the flight so they could learn to catch and kill live prey. For a while I was afraid they were too friendly and might turn to humans if they needed food, but I’ve seen no sign of that.

Animal rights is concerned with preventing the suffering or even use of animals by humans. New Zealand has been the recipient of a higher than average number of introduced species, in particular a range of mammals from elk to mice.

Consider this: ninety percent of birds treated at wildlife centers are admitted as a result of human interactions that have nothing to do with “nature.” Our world has changed, and humans have created that change. Wildlife no longer exists in the same way it did before humans came on the scene. The difference seems obvious.
