Today, my dad killed my pet rats. They were playing on the sofa, and he thought they were vermin. This would have been understandable if the reason he came over wasn't to meet them, and they hadn't been wearing bright pink walking harnesses. FML

Your dad is a bit of an asshole, isn't he?

Those rats were obviously pets because of their harnesses. I have never seen a sewer rat or any other kind wearing a harness. Very rude of your dad.

Did anyone else imagine the dad brutally murdering the rats within a few seconds of seeing them?

A la Sir Lancelot ( Monty python and the holy grail ) style! Once he gets in his idiom...

Obviously you "knob". Cats and dogs are different species too and people usually prefer one to the other....knob face

Hamsters are friggen mean buggers. Rats are much friendlier.

Really?? My hamster wasn't mean when I was a kid.....guess that contradicts everything you knew about hamsters.

I am sorry for your loss. Fancy rats become part of the family because of their sweet personalities. No animal should be treated without respect.

Fail number one: having PET rats. Fail number two: Letting them loose in your house.!? >.> Fail number three: your dad is a ******* retard.

Uhm, I've had a myriad of pets. From rats, ferrets, to dogs, cats, and birds - haven't had fish though. Every single one of my pets I was able to let loose in my house and not worry. I even had the rats and ferrets trained so that when they had to go they'd scramble back into their cage, then meander back out again. Rats make amazing pets, actually. I prefer them over hamsters and Guenna pigs. (People have pet mice too, are you going to call them failures for having any kind of rodent pet and not keeping them locked up in a tiny cage?)

Lots of people have pet rats, and yes they do let them loose in their homes. I've never had a pet rat, but I've had plenty of hamsters that I used to let scurry around the house. What's so wrong about that? It's not like they're monkeys.

Id let a monky loos in my house before a rat. Id train it to fling poo at burglers also :)

#78 Rats are so intelligent I didn't even have to train mine; they almost immediately began using the litter box (a rabbit-sized one in the cage) when I first got them, and would always run back in to eat/do their business/etc and then come running back out to play more. :)

There are many reasons to own rats: they are easy to look after; cute; affordable; smarter than dogs (they won't associate a bell with food if the bell is used just before feedings and at random times though dogs will always think food will come); easily portable; don't often bite; very friendly; very affectionate; can feed them pretty much anything healthy e.g. bananas, apples, seeds.

Who keeps rats you have issues.

Who doesn't use a question mark? Also, who doesn't understand that rats an be pets as well as tarantulas, and snakes? You have issues.

Sounds like you have some issues you need to iron out.

Domestic snakes eat rats correct? Did you contradict yourself on this one? Is that enough question marks for you??

So your dad thought your rats were vermin? Kind of legit if u ask me

You should look up what vermin means and quickly realize that it isn't a legitimate statement. Then realize that no one asked you to begin with.

I know what vermin means thank you. A good example of vermin is rats (for normal people). Also yes nobody asked me to begin with thats y i said IF u sak me as in IF u ask me (pay attention here; i know nobody asked me) dats what i would say. U see? Its quite simple u artard
