Rats, mice, birds, amphibians and other animals have been excluded from
coverage by the Animal Welfare Act. Therefore research St. John's
University, Collegeville, 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 St. John's University, Collegeville, MN has
not performed experiments on non-reportable animals. A blank form does
mean that the St. John's University, Collegeville, 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.
