RE: Rats: Do They Have a Good Side?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Rats are the most destructive vertebrate in the world". They destroy food supplies, cause damage to structures, and spread disease.

These right here are reasons why I don't like rats! One crawled over me when I was in primary school with my friends. I screamed and they laughed at me and since, the scene has been ingrained in my memory forever.

I like that your article goes further to examine the uses of rats. There are some parts of my country where a different species of rats is consumed. Those rats are larger in size and found in deep forest. They are often roasted and sold in markets. I've not tasted one though. Best if I don't know that it's rat meat. Maybe after a day or two after the meat has been digested then someone can tell me it's rat meat. I won't feel bad about it, I think. 😂

The part I find interesting is that some species are more intelligent than humans. Wow. And they are used to detect diseases. Well, I have no complaints here! Enlightening piece! Thanks for sharing. Take care and have a wonderful day. !LUV 🙂

That's horrible. There are kids in some areas of NYC who wake up with rats licking milk from the edges of their mouths (or so I've read).

I can't see myself eating rat, ever. I'm actually trying to eat less meat, not more!

I'm very sorry this response is tardy. I was quite ill for a few days and down for the count. I think I'm back. We'll see how long this good spurt lasts.

Thanks very much for meaningful comment.

I stopped eating meat many years ago and do so infrequently. Except for the Christmas holidays! Hehe.

I'm sorry about the illness. I hope you're feeling much better now. Don't push yourself too hard, your well-being is top priority. I wish you a swift and lasting return to good health. 💕
