The good folks at the Humane League in Philadelphia, PA, convinced a nearby university to allow the release/rescue of the rats used in repetitive, pointless classroom psychology experiments.
This year, there are nearly double the number of rats as in previous years -- 70 rats, and whichever ones don't find homes will be killed.
E-mails to rescue lists and myspace bulletins have gotten very few offers of help. These rats are going to be gassed with carbon monoxide in late June if they have not found homes for them by that time.
The rats are all white albino males, very friendly and sociable.
If you live in the upstate NY area and can adopt or foster a rat, please e-mail Amber at info@syracuseanimalrights.com.
If you do not live in the upstate NY area, but are still interested in helping, please e-mail info@thehumaneleague.com.
