Did you know that mice and humans share approximately 85/% to 97.5% of their working DNA ? That is the reason why lab mice ( genetically the same as wild mice ) are used for testing and research of human diseases.
According to the Foundation For Biomedical Research - All of the 3, 2025 Nobel Prize winners in medicine used mice to develop breakthrough theories about the immune system that led to new cancer treatments and advances in organ transplant"
Taking into consideration how important mice are, and they carry around 30,000 genes similar to humans - would they be welcome in your home.?

No way would they be welcome in my home. They also carry 30,000 germs.

Very much aware of such. They're lab rats for a reason.
But no, they aren't welcome in my home though I used to have white mice as a pet.

@Kandae11 I used to have two. But now no. And my two fur babies are "hypoallergenic" breeds.
