Rats, mice, birds, amphibians and other animals have been excluded
from coverage by the Animal Welfare Act. Therefore research facility reports
do not include these animals. As a result of this situation, a blank report,
or one with few animals listed, does not mean that a facility has not
performed experiments on non-reportable animals. A blank form does mean that
the facility in question has not used covered animals (primates, dogs, cats,
rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, pigs, sheep, goats, etc.). Rats and mice
alone are believed to comprise over 90% of the animals used in
experimentation. Therefore the majority of animals used at research
facilities are not even counted.
