Mouse plague crisis: PETA cops backlash for telling farmers not to kill the rodents
Activists have been blasted for urging farmers not to kill mice in the name of “human supremacy”, as the plague devastates rural areas.

LINKA global animal rights organisation has bizarrely pleaded with farmers “not to kill” the mice plaguing regional Australia, arguing the rodents should not be denied their “right” to food because of the “dangerous notion of human supremacy”.
The comments from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) during the height of a devastating mouse plague has infuriated farmers and prompted the Deputy PM to slam the activists as “idiots who have never been outside the city”.
The ongoing rodent infestation across eastern Australia is on track to cause up to $100 million worth of damage and has already worsened a mental health crisis in the regions.
Some farmers have lost as much as $300,000 each in ruined crops as the mice chew through anything they can get their teeth in.
But PETA is urging rural residents to consider the welfare of the mice and avoid killing them with poison, instead suggesting the mice be gently caught and released unharmed.
