Mice 'attack' elderly Australians
The Australian government has ordered an investigation after mice repeatedly bit residents of a nursing home.
One man, a bedridden veteran aged 89, was found covered in blood after his ears, neck and throat were chewed by the mice. He had to be sedated later.
The incident at the home in Queensland state was "extremely disturbing", said Minister for Ageing Justine Elliot.
She said if health and safety practices at the 80-bed institution were found to be inadequate, it would be closed.

OMG, 'if' they were found to be inadequate??!! I think that point has already been proved! How the feck the owners can't notice an infestation that bad is beyond me.

My god!
If even the resident rodents were forced to attack and eat human beings because they were so hungry, what does that say about the care in that particular nursing home?
Absolutely shocking!
