Mission Statement
Our mission is to promote fancy
mice as pets and educate the public about these wonderful creatures.
Additionally, we hope to provide fancy mouse breeders a place to
showcase their mice and incentive for them to improve their mouseries.
Position Statements
Feeder
Mice
We are neither for, nor against, the raising of mice as
feeders. Mice
constitute a large portion of the diet of many wild animals kept in
captitivty today. We do, however, feel that it is important that even
feeder mice are treated humanely and killed in as humane a manner
possible.
Culling
Litters
We are officially neutral on the ethics of culling litters.
Whether or
not you choose to cull, we feel that all mice which are killed, whether
for feeders or to reduce litter size, should be killed as humanely as
possible.
Linebreeding
and Inbreeding
We are officially neutral on line and inbreeding. It has both
benefits
and risks and only each individual can choose whether or not they think
one side outweighs the other.
