It takes scientists to breed mentally ill animals? The local populace in NE Mississippi has been doing this for years with humans. This is NEWS?

At-a-glance I thought the title read “Socialists Breed the World’s First Mentally Ill Mouse”

LOL, GRRRREAT! They are small-minded, but comparing Harry POS Reid to a mouse is an insult to all mice. (Of Mice and Men BUMP!)

I suppose they could put them on medication—but seriously folks, How do you know for sure if a mouse has schizophrenia?
Does he run the maze backwards?
