Due to above comment, I do believe it are time for another thread involving rats.

So, why doesn't 'pest control' count as 'animal abuse' when it comes to killing rats?

Those are wild rats and since there's so many, no one cares.

Why don't people care? PETA gets on everyone's case about so much as looking at animals the wrong way. Why don't they do stuff about the killing of rats? Double-standard fags have double-standards.

It hard to say.
Where are we going to dump all these 'pests'? Depending on how bad the investation is, you can be looking at over 100 of them.
Dumping them all back into the wild can be dangerous to the enviorment, its possible that they are carrying some sort of disease(as a lot of other wildlife can get since rats can get into just about anything), etc.

I love rats, and every mouse or rat I have caught was released FAR away from my house. But if I had a hundreds of them in my house, I don't see an alternative other than to eliminate them.

Thing is, if you're gonna 'protect' one animal, but not another, whilst claiming you protect ALL animals, then you're full of shit. Double-standard fags have double-standards.

Because we can all protect every single animal at the same time.

Unfortunately their all-encompassing statements encompass all, not just the ones that people feel like protecting, or the ones that it's easy to protect.

I agree, it would be stupid to humanely trap all the rats in people's homes and release them in wildlife reserves, but I object to people who claim to save all, and blatantly don't save all.

Also, these are mice, not rats, but cute anyway.

This is also a mouse, but it's riding a fucking frog! People NEED to see the mouse-riding-a-frog.

To whoever said that it was pretty cool that my rats don't move/chew up the towels in the cage:

They don't usually chew them, but they do enjoy burying under them...and when they do, they tend to chew. I guess out of boredom and being too lazy to get up and find a chew toy, lmao. I may have to get some clips to clip the towels down...But they're usually pretty good about it. They poop in the litter boxes, too. :]

This is a form of hairless, I think it's called "patchwork" hairless...I forget the other name for it. But with this one, it looks like his fur color is black or dark brown. So, if he had fur, that's the color it would be. But their hair falls out and regrows in patches, and sometimes they make cool patterns like this.

Is it true that a swarm of rats can kill a person?

Small, cute sociable, smart. A lot to like about them. They keep their cage tidy, when handled properly they become great companions, you can set them loose on your table (tarp it) with bits of tissue and they run around and horde it back into their cages and make nests.

Best thing about them is that unlike guinea pigs, their cages don't smell like ammonia three days after you change their shavings.

My guinea pigs' cage never smells. But it gets dirty easily and have to be cleaned lot more often than rats.

Whatever comes to the topic of killing wild rats. I think there is nothing wrong in KILLING them but the ways it's done are usually not a all pleasant... for the animal. Someone could invent a better way for them to go if they need to be killed.

>>168394

Oh yeah and I can set my rats loose anywhere in the house except I prefer to do it just in their own room. :p They don't get lost and most come when called. I know people who live with their rats without a cage and they are always free in the apartment.
