Hope no one has shat in the toilet yet!
Attention loons, anyone interested in a pet rat? There are a 1,000 of them currently up for adoption after the TV show Hoarders unearthed the mischief of rodents in a unnamed hoaders home. See, it all started when some idiot gave the hoarder a friggin pregnant rat as a pet. Hello people, hoarders don’t need pets or anything that multiplies. Anywho, a neighbor rang the TV show after the rats had pretty much eaten his home and had begun frolicking on the property. When help arrived they discovered half an inch of rat droppings covering the entire house and a community of rats making happy in the wall insulation. Enter an 18 wheel truck which carted the plague to Andy’s Pet Shop in San Jose. Now you can adopt a hoarder’s rodent. Anyone?
Oh hell no!
What a nightmare. Animal hoarding is one of the gristliest forms of OCD and certainly one that causes great suffering. Pet rats do make marvelous pets. The are so personable and have such individual personalities, but if you can’t spend quality time with EACH of your pet rats every day, you have too many rats. I’m sure most of those poor creatures had to be put down. How sad. What in the world took someone so long to report this poor mentally ill person to the authorities?. A thousand rats do not go unnoticed.
PS-Contrary to popular myth, Norway rats (the domestic breed) do not support the fleas that carry the plague. The squirrel or rabbit in your back yard may, but not domesticated fancy rats. If anyone was “plagued” in this pathetic incident, it was the rats, not the humans!
