Rat Hate

There is a contest running right now at ratfreesubways.com.  Submit a photo of a rat you've seen on the NYC subway and others vote on how nasty it is. The winner receives an unlimited MetroCard.

I know rats are considered pests. I know that they are pests in many instances.  I know that there is a difference between wild rats and the adorable two in my house right now. But the lack of compassion shown for wild animals is astounding to me.

CNN covered the contest as well as the NYC rat issue.



I can differentiate between pets and wild animals. I understand concerns of safety and health. I don't understand cruelty, or the humor people seemingly find in it, in any scenario.
