There's a park I like to go to and the bushes are full of rats. They're small ones and they just scurry about. I realize this seems creepy but I really enjoy watching them run back and forth. When I was a kid I had rats so that's why I don't mind them. Rats are awesome pets and way better for a young kid than a hamster or chinchilla. Rats want to hang out while all other rodents want to die in their cage.

But the thing is, people look at me when I throw crumbs from my lunch at the bushes. Why is it such a stigma to feed rats at your local park while it's ok to feed the pigeons? Pigeons are rats with wings, but filthy.

And also, the balls on rats. Probably the biggest nutsacks compared to size of all living creatures.

Rats are kicking rad but they die quickly.

Oh well, as long as you helped give them a good life that's what matters.

Rats, even mice, are fun to feed outside. Way more entertaining than just birds. Especially since they’re just in the park, not getting into people’s homes. I think most rodents are very :3:

That’s fine hawks and ravens are fuckin badass. If I could personally die by being eaten by a giant bird that’d be pretty cool.

It might be too soon but have you considered ferrets? They really are like a puppy but also an annoying butthole all the time. But such great little buttholes. Last longer than rats.

And gently caress that bird that keeps flying around here and killing the rats!

On a dare, if someone caught one of the rats and calmed it down properly, yes, I would let it lick my lips.

I feed rats poison. Ive had lots of rats in the back yard and crawl space. I do traps too but thats gross since i have to deal with the bodies. Better just to spread the poison all around. The poo poo rats take the poison and crawl back to their poo poo holes to die.
