Rats are the most adorable, most misunderstood animal on the planet. They are highly intelligent, and will even refuse to accept food - which they love - when they discover it will cause pain to other rats, a previous study showed.
Here in our modern day and age, with the most information available in the history of mankind at our fingertips, people still kill rats because of ignorance, and.... yes, religion.
Back in the Middle Ages (when religion ruled, and scientists and intellectuals were burned alive) a particular pope hated cats so much, that he ordered all cats to be killed. (I forgot the particular legalized con artist's name, so Google it. Pope Gregory or Pope Poes or something.)
People that loved their cats, obeyed. They mercilessly killed their fur children because they were scared out of their confuckulated little brainwashed minds of an imaginary psychopathic book character called God that they couldn't even prove to exist.
That is how despicably powerful and serious the mental illness religion is. Which is why I don't trust religious parents around their own children; newspapers reported about parents on several occasions the past 50 years that killed their children after hearing voices from their god. What is it called when you hear voices, being religious slash mentally ill? It's like killing your child because you are afraid of that bitchy Momma Bear in Goldilocks. Fucking mental illness, nothing else can explain such vile behavior.
Millions of Europeans thus complied and killed their cats. No cats meant that the population of rats - driven into dirty sewerage pipes by humans that invaded their natural habitat - exploded, and somehow they carried a pathogen that they may have gotten from human excrement, back to other humans.
And so the Black Death plague started, killing 50% of Europeans. This all happened solely because of religious beliefs which disturbed the natural order of life. When people are not infected or brain damaged by RIV - the Religionosa Idiotica Virus; much worse than HIV/Aids and Covid-19 - they as atheists tend to be humane, to care for and protect animals and the environment. Not slaughter animals with names that was like children in the house.
It is human nature to find a scapegoat for everything going wrong. We love and enjoy entertainment, which is why Hollywood became so big so fast. But to sell a movie a good scriptwriter knows a scapegoat, an enemy that will be defeated at the end of the movie because such good-guy-wins movies sell the best, is necessary.
We fear Great White sharks. So sharks it is, a screenwriter decided, and Jaws ran through cinemas and our minds for decades. As a result it influenced fishermen to kill sharks to the point of extinction, because sharks are bad.
We fear snakes, and so Anaconda was another box office hit. The Bible says a talking snake screwed us over, and so every snake in sight must be killed, Christians believe and execute.
We fear nuclear power, and so the China Syndrome reached cult status and caused the building of 100 new nuclear reactors in the US to be canceled. That's the power of entertaining videos.
This year's China Virus brought home the message how dangerous a pandemic is, and the movie Contagion was rebroadcasted around the globe again, years after it came out. The media knows fear mongering sells. The same applies to rats, that are erroneously blamed for the devastating Black Death pandemic.
Meanwhile, if there was no rats that time, another animal would still have carried the virus to humans anyway. Maybe a stray dog, or pigeons, or lice, who knows. Europeans were a dirty bunch back then, with most only bathing once a month or once a week. And they defecated in the alley behind the home, with that unsanitary excrement being rained into every ditch where the germs in the feces multiplied exponentially. Any animal could have picked it up, unfortunately it was rats instead of mosquitoes.
Rats make for the perfect scapegoat, in animations they can so easily be drawn as vicious creatures that are out to get us. And most people - especially religious people that make up the majority of our sick world; actually, religious people is the reason our planet is so sick and full of conflicts and wars - are gullible as fuck and afraid to read, learn, and think, all traits that are discouraged by religious indoctrination. ('Don't ask questions, just believe!' Remember that harmful shit from authority figures when you were a kid questioning contradictory bullshit in the Bible?)
Rats are as clean as the average house cat, when given the chance and environment to be pure rat. They belong in nature, the same nature we as humans invaded with our overbreeding, where they fulfill a vital role in ecosystems. They spend a large portion of their time awake to clean themselves and their fellow rats in their mischief (the collective word to describe a number of rats together.)
Rats are not a pest or plague, humans overpopulating the earth are. We humans are mammals, we are part of the animal kingdom, and we are the problem. Not owls, bats, rats, or any other animal.
And now you know why I enter hissy fit mode when young Republican mothers on this overpopulated earth continues to pop out child after child after child after child after child after child after child (tell me when there are six, that's how many children those breeders apparently aim for), with taxpayers having to pay for it with money that is direly needed by science to save us from climate change instead.
