Rats, mice, birds, amphibians and other animals have been excluded from
coverage by the Animal Welfare Act. Therefore research Guidant Corp
Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc., Arden Hills, 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 Guidant Corp Cardiac Pacemakers,
Inc., Arden Hills, MN has not performed experiments on non-reportable
animals. A blank form does mean that the Guidant Corp Cardiac
Pacemakers, Inc., Arden Hills, 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.
