Mooshika.org - Welcome! Bienvenue!

In the Hindu religion, rats represent foresight and prudence, and white ones are very lucky. Mooshika is the name of the steed that Ganesh - god of new beginnings and of fire, knowledge, wisdom, literature and worldly success - rides upon. The steed, of course, is the intelligent and gentle rat. “Mooshika” means “little hoarder.”


Dans la religion hindoue, les rats représentent la prévoyance et la prudence, les blancs étant considérés comme particulièrement chanceux. Mooshika est le nom du destrier de Ganesh – dieu des nouveaux départs, du feu, du savoir, de la sagesse, de la littérature et du succès matériel. Ce destrier, bien sûr, est un digne représentant de la race douce et intelligente des rats. Le nom ''Mooshika'' signifie petit amasseur.

Where pet store rats and mice, "feeders" and pets, come from

This pictorial and description comes from an undated campaign from PETA. The conditions have long been considered "standard" for sub-standard that they are.

Just an FYI, when you buy a small animal - rat, mouse, other - from a pet store, you may be saving that pet's life and giving them a proper loving home - but it will trigger a "buy" order that makes places like these a lot of money. The cycle perpetuates. One day, if we work hard at it, it will stop.

Adopt, don't shop. There are alternatives.
