Three rat sisters are relishing their new, loving home after being rescued from a gruesome laboratory, as you can see in this heartwarming video from PETA.
Peggy, Siri and Sarah excitedly explore their surroundings, run around on cozy bedding and happily scurry over their kind, new guardian.
This beautiful scene is juxtaposed with horrific footage from the Cleveland Clinic laboratory, where rats and mice are kept in cramped, filthy cages and forced to undergo painful and invasive brain experiments.
The video shows multiple rats with raw skin and open wounds, where “cranial windows” had been inserted into their skulls to be filled with steel “head caps.”
Rescued from their grim fate and finally free from a caged existence, these three lucky sisters frolic about, playing with toys, snuggling under blankets and eating fresh fruit and vegetables straight from their caretaker’s hands.
This happy new life lets these playful rats show off their individual personalities: Siri loves wrestling and being tickled; Sarah enjoys nest-building; and the smallest, Peggy, is the adventurous one.
So glad they have found a loving home and cruelty needs to stop.
Please leave them alone and let them be natural . I don’t believe that scientists can tell animals can tell how they can tell animalss feels or skins . Why not Scientists should test on prisoners who near dying and they can tell scientists about it period . Not animals don’t tell their voices . Don’t argue with me .

What cruelty to intentionally hurt innocent animals in a manner that serves no purpose. Rat physiology has no comparison to human anatomy therefore your experimentation has no worthwhile purpose. I can’t imagine what kind of joy you’d get from hurting them.
Rats do not deserve this. I have kept rats as pets and they are affectionate and often more intelligent than my dogs.
I could not watch the lab part. Such human centricity that allows people to think they have the right to exploit and kill animals for the purposes of people and I say they same thing in every petition I sign. Animals are not disposable objects but living and feeling beings. At least these three got out and after all the pain inflicted upon them they are so sweet and gentle. I had a rat once, Sneezy, and what a sweet guy. He and our cat would sit on the couch together. Too many humans really need to stop thinking they/we are special and the most important species because we are not even close to that.
Please treat animals humanely
Experiments on animals are redundant, out of date and rarely transfer positive results to human beings. The experiments are cruel and have no validity! I do not want my tax dollars supporting this inhumane treatment of these intelligent feeling animals.
I am an I C U nurse and this bullshit stuff that these so called researchers do on these innocent animals is nothing but a total waste of taxpayer’s money.
This stupid and inhumane stuff is sadistic and does not apply or is used to help my patients or anybody’ else’s patients.
If the NIH had got so much money to throw away on these disgusting and useless acts maybe they don’t need to receive so much money.
Don’t you think it’s about time to GROW UP!
So happy for these sweet sisters! <3 No animal deserves to be treated like a living test tube. It's time to modernize and embrace humane, human-relevant research methods.
Wonderful news! thank you for saving them
People need to be aware of the companies that support these disguising, unacceptable experiments on animals and boycott the.. This is animal abuse and its not acceptable.
Ladyfreethinker,,, I have been reading your work for a while now, If doesn’t look like the ppl that are so cruel seem to not be punished.Are you doing enough?
Cruelty towards all animals has to STOP!!!
moche
Så bra
Thanku to those who rescued these rats. 🐀🐀🐀
Before I started receiving these torturous animal stories I thought the world was quite a nice place. Now I realise no country is completely safe from sadists abusers and demons. Until laws are changed this awful hatred of animals.
i ALSO THOUGH THE WORLD WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE IN. NOW MY DREAMS ARE FILLED WITH NIGHTMARISH IMAGES OF TORTURED ANIMALS. MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
So good to read some cheering news .
Well done the rescuers!
Thank you. Thank you for a happy story
Thank you for saving these wonderful sweet little rats, They are adorable. I wish no animals would have to suffer for useless experiments at the hands of heartless individuals that keep torturing animals just to keep their funding coming.
