Exemption of rodents from humane treatment regulations

"All the equipment needed to "humanely" euthanize mice and rats is expensive and a lot of trouble to set up. Would be much better just to pop them in the freezer. Address В"

"I hate rodents, only good thing is they keep my snakes nice and fat"

"В Address VA"

"This is a must, then I won't feel bad throwing live rats at the wall to shock them so they can be eaten. Or putting my live feeders in the freezer so they don't grow anymore. Thanks for doing this, I appreciate it."

"filthy pests"

"I have owned and bred PET rats for over 5 years now, and find it hard to believe people would even think of writing a petition like this! I have joined many of my friends to sign this petition AGAINST this type of behaviour."

"I support this petition"

"I support this petition"

"I must say everyone in favor of this petition are completely ignorant. You really should do some research into the characteristics and behaviors of these animals before you put up such a petition."

"Also, you all should be aware that these online petitions very rarely, if ever, make it off of the internet. This will not be passed, which is why many of us who love and care for rodents have "signed" it - in protest."

"Would you like it if we took your dog or cat, bashed it's head in and fed it to an alligator? No? Didn't think so. Rats, mice, rabbits, gerbils, etc ARE PETS for hundreds of thousands of people. Just the same as a cat or dog. Address Noneya"

"There's no need for CO2 and stuff anyway when you can just put them in the freezer and let them go to sleep Address OK"

"I support this petition"

"Why bother to kill them at all, let the snake or whatever take care of that for you, it's what they were designed to do. Address В"

"Keep it up. Your ignorance is showing more with every single signature. Rats, mice, gerbils, rabbits and all others are animals too, and deserve the respect and basic care that any living creature deserves."

"Great Idea !"

"They are just rodents people. Lighten up. They stink and smell. Why even care about them? Address Vermont"

"You people are ignorant, selfish, and money hungry. I hope you all rot in hell for an idiotic petition like this. These animals DO serve a purpose - as intelligent, curious, social companion animals to those exceptional enough to understand them. Address"

"nasty vermin, they shouldn't be kept as pets either Address В"

"UR ALL SICK B****** all you ppl who want this action to go through should rot in hell! Rats and mice are adorable sweet inocent creatures. tell me what have they exacily done to harm your life in any way? Go on tell me!"

"Pet rats are forced to live in a cage and fed food that;s been sitting in a a plastic bag somewhere for months. Killing them is doing them a favor, no reason to make it difficult. Address В"

"Good idea, Troy. Did you know that many snakes and other animals these rats and mice are fed to often fight back? They do injure and even kill them often. So, by all means, go ahead and feed live - let your snake be killed by a little rat. Ha."
