"How fucking twisted and bored do you have to be to decide to be a rat lover?" Well, I guess I must be pretty fucking twisted, because I love rats and keep three of my own. They make great pets and are NOT vermin! They are as smart as any dog and can be trained just the same. In fact, they were voted #1 pet on a poll site just the other day. Sheesh.

"Rat fanciers, who had formed an e-mail chain called "petalumarats" in an attempt to find homes for the rodents, were horrified." What the fuck did they want? Send them to the Rat Rehabilitation Center?

Usually when I catch rats in my traped cage, I would proceed to pour scalding hot water on them until they screech to death. But there was this one particular rat that had Bambi-like eyes. Needless to say it was love at first sight. I fed it celery and fish. after 3 months he got really fat. So I drove to a nearby jungle and released him. For a brief moment he actually turned around and looked at me for what seems like 20 seconds. As if he was saying good bye. Then he ran into the jungle and I went back to killing rats with poison instead.

"Rat lovers have expressed outrage at the euthanizations, but Tavares said the pace of adoptions have gone too slow to expect all the rats to find homes. As of Thursday, only 12 of the rodents had gotten new owners, " I'm surprised they were able to give that many away. Probably going to feed snakes any way. What a waste of good snake food. I especially like where they mention his association with the "Rat Pack". I mean it has absolutely nothing to do with the story, but it is interesting.

For those who are interested, Petaluma (the site of the rat infestation) is about 45 miles north of San Francisco, two counties distant. Petaluma's other claims to fame include its mono-economy of eggs from chickens, and residency by Winona Ryder and Mark Klaas (not at the same address).

"Petaluma's other claims to fame include its mono-economy of eggs from chickens..." ---------------------------------------------------------------- It's also in the title of my favorite piece of music by Harry Partch: "On the Seventh Day Petals Fell on Petaluma." In fact my interest in the music of Harry Partch is the only reason I have even heard of this place. Anyway, back to the rats...

The Rat Pack comprised of Sinatra, Martin, & Davis Jr. Also Joey Bishop I believe. So, what am I missing, what have they to do with a house full of rats, other than the name Rat Pack? I enjoyed reading about his involvement with the kidnappers of Sinatra's son, but again I iterate, what has it to do with the main story?

I think rats are cute. The kind that you buy in a pet store, NOT the wild sewer rats that would just as well chew your face off. I never owned one, but my friend used to have a pet rat. It would come to you when you called his name, was litter box trained and would follow you around her bedroom like a little dog. He never bit anybody. ..................

The "Rat Pack" proper has nothing to do with this story, the irony is in the comic-book coincidence of name, something you might see in EC's Ironic Tales. Please don't ask me to explain further. It would be like explaining a bad joke.

Apparently this character was supposed to have his rats spayed and neutered. How irresponsible. It would have been lovely if they had emptied out the house by building a trash-n-gasoline fire in the back yard, carrying out the cages where the rats lived six deep and placing them on it. I imagine it would have smelled good, sounded cool, and looked like a scene from Maus. Listening to the thousands of helpless tiny screams of your victims, watching what you have done, as they melt and sizzle and die, could really stroke a person's libido in all the right ways. You know, when a normal person looks at a guy like this, or an old lady who has too many cats, I suspect that they feel the same way I do when I talk to them.

<a href="http://www.rmca.org/barmca/images/malachi_candle_left.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Okay, here goes (knuckles cracking) . . . "Despite all my rage; I am still just a rat in a cage." Ha! "Rat lovers have expressed outrage at the euthanizations" - How fucking twisted and bored do you have to be to decide to be a rat lover? Oh, time to brush my cockroaches... " I prefer millipedes, myself. My biggest is about a foot long. Haven't gotten the nerve to try roaches, although some of the tropical species are purdy. As to rats, how fucking twisted and bored do you have to be to post on the Rotten forums? Rats rock as pets. Loads friendlier than hamsters. "I'm surprised they were able to give that many away. Probably going to feed snakes any way. What a waste of good snake food." Agreed. Snakes need love, too. I wouldn't have wasted them. "I think rats are cute. The kind that you buy in a pet store, NOT the wild sewer rats that would just as well chew your face off." Actually, that's not terribly likely to happen unless you're sleeping on the floor in a room full of hundreds of the little fuckers. Even then it's black rats (Rattus rattus) that are more aggressive and likely to attack, not brown ones (Rattus norvegicus), which are the ones from which domestic ones were bred, and are more likely to live in sewers. "You know, when a normal person looks at a guy like this, or an old lady who has too many cats, I suspect that they feel the same way I do when I talk to them." Huh? Forgive me, but I don't follow the sentence logic . . . Regardless, I think it's interesting that some folks get off so exquisitely on fantasizing about all the horrible and painful ways they can torture rats to death-- and then have the balls to call anyone else twisted. The dude was sick, this is obvious. 1300 rats attests to this. But you guys are sick AND sadistic. Oh-- and no, domestic rats don't carry the plague, unless they've been exposed to it. To assume all rats carry the plague is like assuming all dogs carry rabies.
