BANGKOK: Thailand is going to use mice to test food for poison before it is served to U.S. President George W. Bush and 20 other Asia Pacific leaders at a regional summit in Bangkok this month, a top health official says.

Department of Medical Sciences chief Somsong Rugpao said samples of dishes served during the October 20-21 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit would be injected into mice.

"We'll have a result within a minute. If it's safe, we'll tell the waiters to start serving," he told Reuters.

1. Please don't encourage them. I love animals too and hate to see human

disregard and abuse of them, but everything PETA does turns into RW ammo aginst progressive causes, whether accurate or not.

2. Sometimes they do make me wonder

Like when they demanded the Green Bay Packers change their name.

5. Yeah that was brilliant

I'm just curious why PETA would care about THIS issue- the mice are getting fed, and you damn know well the chances of Bush's foodstuff being poisoned is like 1 in a million.
If I was a mouse, I'd say I got a good deal ;)

6. Umm

I can see a flaw in their plan..

""We'll have a result within a minute. If it's safe, we'll tell the waiters to start serving," he told Reuters."

Unless the poison takes longer than a minute to act... like ricin.
