  1. Depends on the species of rat. Rats like the Norway rat and roof rat are wild rats and are vectors for many diseases including the plague. Rats acting as vectors of disease have killed hundreds of millions of humans.

  2. I worked in the Pest Management industry for a decade and I learned very quickly how smart rats were. They were always a worthy adversary.

  3.  @squirrelmanning7889  That would not work because the rats would still be there, still causing damage to the property and still being vectors for disease. You know I did not enjoy killing rodents, in fact I hated it but I understood that it HAD TO BE DONE to protect people and their property. I will also point out that rats are an invasive species and they do a lot of damage to the natural environment and hurt native species of wildlife.

  6. The problem is you are generalizing when it comes to the breed. Dogs are just like people and they have unique personalities. While one pit might be the sweetest dog ever the next could be highly aggressive and dangerous. I had a female pit that was raised from a puppy with two other dogs, two cats, I took her EVERYWHERE with me and socialized the crap out of her. I never hit her or even had to discipline her because my Jack Russell Terrier and Australian Shepherd showed her the ropes. Growing up she was the sweetest dog ever. Once she because an adult dog a sinister side surfaced where any new dog she met she would take a dominant stance and declare she was alpha. As long as that dog acknowledged her as alpha they were fine. If they didn't she would attack without warning. I had a large 1 acre fenced in back yard with some wooded areas, she would catch and kill opossums, racoons, squirrels, the neighbors cats, if it was in our back yard and she could catch it she would kill it. One of my neighbors had two west highland terriers that were always barking at her on their side of the fence. She never seemed to pay them much attention, I got home from work one day and she had used her massive head to push on the chain link fence and stretch it out enough to where she could crawl under it. She went into their yard looking for those dogs and she killed them both and literally tore their bodies to shreds. Around my wife and I, our other two dogs and cats she was as sweet a dog as you could imagine. Unsupervised.....she was dangerous.

  7.  @katwoman6523  True, I just think some dog breeds are better left to experienced dog owners. When I had Daisy I was not experienced enough to recognize her body language and early warning signs of aggression. This was long before The Dog Whisperer was on TV. Now I feel like I could have corrected those issues through proper training, discipline and affection.

  8.  @rawjan39  Honestly I have no idea, she was an impulse buy from a pet store because she was the cutest puppy I had ever seen.

  9. I think Chonk has a bit on Main Coon in him judging by those tips.

  10. If they can be taught to use a litter box, why would you ever put your bunny in a cage?

  11.  @chesterthedutchie  Please understand I was not being critical of you in ANY way. I have just never seen a free roam rabbit before. I LOVE the fact that you allow him to roam free, my comment is more towards the countless rabbit owners I have known over the years who always kept them in cages. I think your way is the better way.

  12. I wish I could visit their farm to play with the animals.

  13. Sometimes all the love in the world can't change a dogs nature. Dogs are like people they each have a unique personality. I had a female Pit that was raised with as much love as you could give. She had two adult dogs and indoor cats for playmates as she grew up and I took her with me everywhere and introduced her to as many dogs as I could as she was growing up and she was the sweetest dog and never showed any signs of aggression. Then she hit puberty and things changed. She would challenge any strange dog and if they did not submit and acknowledge her as alpha she would attack without warning. My neighbors had two west highland terriers that were always barking and snarling at her through the fence and she never seemed to pay them much attention until one day when I was at work he used that powerful muscle in her frame to push out the chain link fence until it was loose enough at the bottom so she could crawl under it. She went into their yard looking for those dogs and not only did she kill them, she ripped them apart, there were pieces of dogs all over my neighbors backyard. Around out dogs and cats and dogs she knew she was sweet but around strange dogs and dogs that didn't acknowledge her dominance she was dangerous.

Here was the problem, I was too inexperienced as a dog owner to have a breed like a Pit Bull. I didn't recognize the body language and warning signs. This was long before the Dog Whisperer and I feel like today I could correct that behavior.

  16. You are over generalizing in my opinion. Dogs are like people each one has its own unique personality. I had a female pit bull raised in the most loving environment you could imagine with two other dogs and two cats for playmates growing up. Once she had her first heat, I got her spayed but she was a different dog. She had a sinister side and dogs she didn't know she would attack without warning if they didn't acknowledge her as alpha. She had a really high prey drive and if she could catch an animal in our backyard it was dead. Opossums, Racoons, Squirrels, several of the neighbors cats. She LIKED to kill but was as loving and sweet to our other dogs and cats.

  17. I freaking HATE people who are cruel to animals. I have ZERO use for anyone who would treat an animal this way.

  18. I had a female Pit, 68 pounds of pure muscle. She had this hilarious personality tick, when it was bath time she would do what I call dead dog. She would lay their totally limp and make you drag her through the house, into the bathroom and into the walk in shower. Once in and being bathed she was fine. She didn't whine or complain but getting her in there was a job!!!!

  19. I wonder if she has ever rescued any baby drop bears.

  21. Running in the snow with his snowsuit on is so cute. This lady though is probably not the best fit for him. She is anthropomorphizing him, dogs live in the moment, their past is irrelevant. All they need is a proper pack leader and any behavioral issue can be fixed almost immediately.

  23. It is sad to see so many Pitties just jacked up by bad genes. Irresponsible breeders are ruining this breed.

  24. WHen he is jumping like that he reminds me of the bunny from Monty Python's Quest for the holy grail. That rabbit's dynamite.
