I don't condone cruelty to animals, but I have little sympathy for rodents that carry rabies, flees, hantavirus, salmonella, typhus, ringworm and numerous other viruses that are very harmful to humans. These are passed to people via through contact with the animal, their urine and/or feces.
My sympathies lay with the people who may have been exposed to the hazards from the potential contamination risk.
Mice only serve a purpose in their natural food chain and in a laboratory; not in the human food chain.
