The US Animal Welfare Act of 1966 does not cover laboratory mice or rats (the USDA enforces the act, and since lab mice and rats are not covered, it does not regulate their usage). In addition, "cold-blooded" vertebrates (e.g. most amphibians, snakes, etc.) and invertebrates (e.g. worms or insects) are not covered by the welfare act either. Finally, animals raised for consumption are excluded from regulation and protection by the Animal Welfare Act of 1966.
