All animals feel pain and stress. It is inhumane for humans to deliberately inflict this on them. Any animals that are currently being used for research purposes will have to be rehomed either by adoption or sanctuaries that can care for them. They will not be euthanized. If homes can not be found for them, they will be cared for by the institutions that have them until their natural death (no research on them). The state may use the canceled funds to provide for their care. They will be allowed adequate space and freedom and if they are social animals they will be given the opportunity for social contact with their own kind. Rats and mice are not exempt. Birds, reptiles and amphibians are also included.
