On: Black Death 'spread by humans not rats'

[brndnmtthws]

I never really understood why people hate rats, but love squirrels. I think rats are cool too.

I like rats in general (they make great pets) but I'd imagine people dislike them more than squirrels because they come into the home more readily. I don't know if you've ever had to live in a house with a rodent problem, but in case not, it's miserable.

I like rats but once you had one decide to make your house its home it makes more sense why people don't like them.

I haven't had to clean a bunch of squirrel feces out of my house yet.

The color of urban rates is darkish and ugly. And the fluffy tale. Rat tails are gross.

Most people hate squirrels, at least around here.

[brndnmtthws → astura]

In NYC it's pretty common to see people watching them and taking pictures of them.

Those are tourists.

And those who like rats are tourats ? (Sorry)

[brndnmtthws → dentemple]

And what, they don't count as people?

[geezerjay → brndnmtthws]

They don't count as people who have to deal with squirrels. Bears are also cuddly.

... Is this a trick question?
