A major shortcoming of the Animal Welfare Act is its exclusion of the species most-used in experimentation -- rats, mice, and birds. Considerations of justice dictate that extension of the law to these three species is the morally right thing to do. A brief history of how these species came to be excluded from the laws protecting laboratory animals is also provided, as well as discussion of the implications and significance of expanding the law.
《动物福利法》的一个主要缺陷是它将实验中最常用的物种——大鼠、小鼠和鸟类排除在外。出于公正的考虑，将该法律扩展到这三个物种在道德上是正确的做法。本文还简要介绍了这些物种是如何被排除在保护实验动物的法律之外的历史，以及对扩大该法律的影响和意义的讨论。
