I’m not sure about the US of A but in the EU stringent rules exist about testing on mice and academics/universities need to justify each mouse consumed.
This has generally been a great regulation as it has led to academics using the same mouse for different tests rather than using them as single purpose animals.
A general ban on animal testing is in place in the EU, with very strict rules for lab animals.
Well that is good to know, my girls will be pleased to know that. Here in the USA as far as I know, back in 2016 a bill passed that would put limits on using lab rats and mice for testing "chemicals", but didn't go far enough because while they animals may not be given the chemicals directly, it made no provisions for feeding them with foods that had been treated with chemicals. So you just couldn't stick them with a needle and inject them with the chemical, but it left a loop hole, which isn't uncommon here, that would allow them to feed the animals with food that may have chemical residue.
