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

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.

Honestly I'd sue or demand payment for wrongful death ( if that term can be applied to pets) You could probably file charges, they were technically your property, he had no right to kill them. Get some sort of compensation for your loss. Sorry OP I'd beat the living daylights out of anyone who hurts my animals.

Rats for crying out loud... There's a reason why they're universally known as vermin. See one, kill it and set traps for the fifty others that are hiding nearby is the rule.

Yeah, WILD rats are vermin. Domesticated pet rats are a completely different species that have been tamed and kept as pets since the 1800s. They're amazing pets.

OP, I'm so sorry :( Not knowing the details, I think your dad might be mentally ill, if he's not stupid :/ I would give him the silent treatment for a VERY long time

People saying rats are vermin have obviously never kept pet rats which are actually bred to be clean and have a good temperament. I haven;t even had them and I know this we studied rat behaviour in pet rats they;re extremely friendly and docile
