Recently, a little gerbil named Rue was stabbed in the stomach and had bled to death in her cage without any students telling the teacher. Because something like this has happened, it will happen again eventually and the innocent animals in the classroom need to be removed.

The small mammals in out science classroom are kept in unhealthy conditions. Their bedding is toxic to them, they are in busy, loud, and stressful environments, and they are unsocialized and live in constant fear. I would like to rehome all of the animals (or at least the mammals, who I know need socialization and attention) in my school to permanent homes or a shelter so they don't have to deal with the stress of their daily lives.
