Ummm yes, people *DO* love their rats. Very much. Some of these rat lovers are members of this list, in fact.
This rat lover, in particular, would appreciate a bit more sensitivity when speaking to a diverse group such as this one.

Vicious destructive little F***ers they are. They use their urine (oops) and feces as a potent allergen to drive larger animals out of desirable habitat. They tried that on me, and I am now engaged in an all-out war of extinction. But I digress. <snip>
