| HeroRATS Trained To Sniff Out Landmines |
 |
In African countries such as Mozambique, landmines take many lives. Well, Mr. Bart Weegens is hoping that his studies will provide a solution in helping to detect these mines and deactivate them before more harm is done.
Being labelled HeroRAT project, the new research has been able to successfully trained rats to |

detect landmines. These beautiful, adorable animal friends are ideal for such a situation as they are highly intelligent, possess superior senses and are so light they do not actually trigger the mine.
Working in junction with Belgian Directorate for International Cooperation and the Tanzania's Sokoine University of Agriculture it is hoped that all land mines in Africa will be eradicated; leaving a safe playing world for all.
It has also been identified that these very noble animal co-inhabitants can detect tuberculosis just by sniffing mucus.
What an amazing animal friend.
The amazing animals learn by sniffing out mines, where the trainers reward them with a treat like a banana or a peanut. One of the handlers noted the animal as being very social; as they love being with people.
Once they are ready for the field - a small harness is attached and a string helps guide them through the vast fields.
If the rat detects the mine, it sits very still and scratches itself. Once realised by the handlers, the mines are then very carefully extracted from the land.

What an amazing discovery. Thank you to all the HeroRATS who willingly give of their lives daily to help serve Humanity.
May all humans understand our animal co-inhabitants better so that we can stop harming them. We pray that all sentient beings live in peace with one another - and that Heaven on Earth is restored.
Thank you also, to Mr. Bart Weegens, Belgian Directorate for International Cooperation and the Tanzania's Sokoine University of Agriculture for bringing this to the world. We pray that all African people one day enjoy peace of mind with out worry of harm.
Be love - Be Peace - Be Vegan.
