How does a long time mouse/rat/rabbit breeder get started on breeding lab animals. Basicly how would I sell these animals to the labs and/or approach the labs about my services? I have all the capabilities for sterile enviroments, controlled breeding/animal husbandry and the like.
@TwoGirls1Panda Labs breed their own animals. They make their own disease model animal lines, or acquire them from other labs; they don't buy them from non-lab breeders.
Oh, that's OK then, because they are kept in "nice" cages, it's alright to test Botox and other products designed for human vanity on them in their hundreds of thousands. How can you try to justify keeping mice in cages anyway when they are wild animals who should be roaming for miles every day. And I like the fact you've chosen "nice" video clips when there are so many more videos out there showing the horrific abuse these animals suffer every single day. You people are sick.
@pineconesaresmallnow It is true they are used for things other than human vanity like drugs testing but let's clear the myths up here. Drugs testing is used primarily for public reassurance. The massive interspecific variations between mice and people make it impossible to extrapolate accurate results from such studies. Many undercover videos show horrific abuse of animals in animal testing facilities, most notably Huntingdon Life Sciences and Nafovanny. Don't believe what the animal abusers sa
@lukebeevers93 "The mouse is the closest mammalian model organism to humans. The gene sequences that code for numerous proteins responsible for carrying out vital biological processes in both the human and the mouse share a high degree of similarity. Therefore, the mouse has already proven EXTREMELY USEFUL in development, genetic, and immunology studies." - From NCBI model organisms guide.

@lukebeevers93 I sort of agree but mice are not only used to test products for human vanity.

Usually through laboratory suppliers but you could try a pet shop.
