Rats, mice, birds, amphibians and other animals have been excluded from
coverage by the Animal Welfare Act. Therefore research Gustavus Adolphus
College, St. Peter, MN 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 Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, MN has not
performed experiments on non-reportable animals. A blank form does mean
that the Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, MN 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.
