RIP poor little rat :(

Like one of the comments says, why are all these pictures of 'mythical' animals so grainy, especially as even the most basic mobile phone camera takes a better picture than that, looks like a normal sized wild rat that's been taken at an exaggerated angle to me
Its sad when people feel the need to glorify killing an animal, regardless of whether it was classed as vermin

Re: RIP poor little rat :(

poor rattie. I know it's classed as vermin but like you said there really is no need to celebrate someone killing it like this

However this bit did make me smile...

Re: RIP poor little rat :(

I know wild rats are pests that need to be controlled, but I think it's sad that some people think 'It's ok, they're vermin so we can torture them'. Some people have no respect for another being's life.
