If Somervillains could punch rats in the face, they would, survey shows

Seems the city of Somerville does a "happiness" survey every couple of years. Cambridge Day reports Somerville residents are pretty content, although most worry about being prices out of the city. But Somerville is united as one in hatred of rats:

Responses showed "an extensive hatred for rats," Gartsman said. "It got violent in the comments."

But he is a good boy!

If only they got so very passionate about not doing the things that create the ecosystem for rats, such as not leaving their garbage in accessible spaces and not littering.

Having separate compost bins/collection helps with this so the food isnt in trash cans like in Boston and Cambridge. Once we started (paying) for compost collection in Somerville the rats werent in our trash bins since there was no food and the food is in the kitchen pail and then a sealed bin on pickup.

If Somervillains could punch rats in the face

Somervillains would probably punch anybody but I can see Somervillians sticking to the rats.

When there are so many more humans deserving of hatred.

But hate in a nonviolent way, whoever you hate.

Superior compared to guinea pigs and especially hamsters.

I knew someone in college who had a pair of white rats and one day one of them ate the other.

I miss mine. Gonna get some more some day.

I know the wild rats aren't domesticated (as opposed to "fancy rats", the kind you get in pet stores) but I still like watching them because they remind me of my pets...

Long live ratty rats.
