Please take the survey above! So far the one person who filled out the survey hates rats.
2 Issues people have with Rats
1. Tails. Many say they would like rats if it wasn't for the tail. Don't judge a book by it's cover!
2. They spread the plague. Actually the fleas did. Even though the rats, after getting it from the fleas, helped spread it, so did dogs, cats and anything the fleas bit. Are you going to get rid of Rover now?
I can not think of other reasons but now I will give you the reasons I want a rat.
Why I Want a Rat
1. They are cute. This may surprise all you rat haters, but I think rats are adorable and I looked at the filthiest rats on the internet. This may not be a good argument however. I thought those things in the new Star Wars movie were adorable. (Sorry for the horrible spoiler. By saying that things are in the Star Wars movie must ruin it. You shouldn't even watch it now. At least I didn't tell you that blank blank blanks.) I thought that dog that chased me a few weeks ago was adorable. I thought the gremlins were adorable when they were evil demon things!
2. They are smart. Rats can navigate mazes, learn to operate devices and do many other experiments. Look up smart rats and you will be amazed. Read Rats of NIMH. I know that's fictional but still.
3. They are good companions. Scientists did an experiment on rats in which they put one rat in a tube only unlock able from the outside and put another rat outside the tube. That rat was free. Every time it freed the trapped rat. Even when it had the option of getting chocolate instead it usually freed the rat instead of hoarding the candy. They are social and they love companionship, even with humans.
I have more reasons for later days, un;less I get a rat tomorrow although I will probably get it about ten days after Christmas for classified reasons if at all.
