AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Dutch Party for Animals, which entered parliament for the first time last November, has forbidden the laying of poison to deal with a mouse infestation in its offices, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.

　　荷兰《电讯报》1月17日表示，为应对该国议会大楼内部日趋严重的鼠患，有关方面打算在楼内各个房间里投放灭鼠药物，但初次进入议会的荷兰动物党已经明确表示，不允许这种行为出现在他们的办公室内。

　　The party, which campaigns for animal rights and compassionate farming, will only allow humane traps in the parliament wing where its offices are housed, allowing trapped mice to be released unharmed, the daily De Telegraaf reported.

　　据路透社1月17日援引荷兰《电讯报》的报道，该党一向致力于动物权益保护及呼吁人们以更多的爱心饲养动物。他们只允许在办公室里放置符合人道原则的捕鼠夹，同时还要保证被夹住的老鼠不会受到任何伤害。

　　The Dutch parliament, or Binnenhof, which is centred around a cluster of mediaeval buildings with turrets and a moat, has a lingering problem with vermin, the paper said.

　　报道说，荷兰议会大厦为一幢濒临护城河的中世纪建筑，长期以来一直深受鼠害的困扰。

　　The party says it is the first animal rights party to be elected to parliament anywhere in the world. It won two seats in last year's general election.

　　动物党表示，他们是世界范围内第一个通过选举进入议会的致力于动物权益保护的政党。在去年举行的荷兰大选中，该党在议会里赢得了两个席位。
