Are you saying humans do not spread disease??? We are cruel and brutal creatures, relying on what we manufacture to get what we want. If we had nothing but the skin we were born with (like these beautiful rats) we wouldn't last long at all.

@k3v1nfbr They are beautiful and intelligent creatures, I wouldn't bother trying to get an intelligent reply from those who dislike these amazing creatures, there is no reason other than their need to destroy what is beautiful and misunderstood.

@kingvoyager Finally someone who speaks complete sense, humankind destroy this planet with their greed and selfishness. Beautiful creatures like this simply get on with what they have to do, anyone who feels their need to interfere and destroy it for no apparent reason (i.e the sick need to 'saenz3210 ok eat it or do something with that') are closed minded pathetic low lives.

@KaiserFlamberge Men are the only ones that are destroying this beautiful planet

[saenz3210]

ok eat it or do something with that

@k3v1nfbr

For scientific reasons, to be honest. Rats may be cute and cuddly, but they're vermin which means that they don't benefit the ecosystem at all. Kinda like mosquitos, but rats aren't parasites obviously. Rats only exist as a part of the food chain (to be eaten by snakes). They're harmful to humans and the environment and all they do is destroy and cause sicknesses. Like the black plague I believe it was called. Correct me if I'm wrong.
