USDA Letter Generator - Docket No. 98-106-4

Thank you very much for your concern in bringing rats and mice not bred for use in research back into the Animal Welfare Act definition of "animal" and, with that, enforcable federal regulations catering specifically to the needs of rats and mice.

Unfortunately the deadline for the submission of comments to the USDA has passed however you can still help!

As the USDA rummages through comments submitted, we still have time to contact our state senators and request that they apply pressure on the USDA to make the right decision: To include rats and mice in the definition of "animal" and to offer them specific humane care standards.

You can find example letters and suggestions for writing senator letters here.

Or, you can just fill out this form and two letters will be generated for you that you can print and mail off!

Thank you again for your concern and support!
