Thanks for posting this--it's so true. Domestic rats are loving, intelligent creatures, and they deserve better than a slow death so that some multinational can sell more candy.

So are humans. But people don't use our numbers as a reason for cheapening life. The same is true, to at least some extent, for any sentient creature--and rats are very sentient.

thats a beautiful hooded rat you have there. i like the ones that have spots rather than a stripe. theyre all lined up in such a perfect row on her back!

@MapleTree621 i had NO idea bout this. Count me in!

@Nyghtshade409 That sounds just like my two. Piff (so called because he is right spiffy, the way he runs around) will come right to me and doesn't mind being picked up at all, but his cagemate and brother Niff (so called because he's got to sniff everything out before he makes a decision) just about has to be dragged kicking and screaming out of the cage when it is time for cleaning. But they were rescue rats, and at least Niff doesn't still try to bite me. Wish they'd live for 10 years.

@lavendersteph your mum needs some educating then. Rats didn't spread the black death - it was the fleas on the rats. Domestic rats are nothing like their wild cousins, they are clean, loving, intelligent. They make excellent pets.
