Once again, from the 1000 Rats Department


Just a few days ago, I posted a story about a man who had collected 1,000 rats. The rats had been confiscated by the authorities, and a veteranarian had offered to spay or neuter all 1,000 of them. Apparently, Project Neutral Rat did not go as planned, and the authorities declared "Rats B. Gone".

The one line that I quote below gives me plenty of reason to believe they did the right thing.

SF GATE: 1,000 pet rodents euthanized; rat lovers furious: "Tina Bird, of Campbell, said the rat community was in the process of mobilizing when the rodents were killed."

Lemme tell you. Once the rat community mobilizes, ain't nobody stopping them. They will march on our cities. They will steal our cheese and burn our homes. Mobilized rat community, indeed. What do they take us for...fools?

Funny commentary Randy!

However, I am not excited about anything being killed, even if they are rats (you know how I love LIFE). Then you went and posted a cute picture of one! Are you trying to turn me into a Rat Intercessor?!

"However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them..." Deut 20:17 Rats breathe.

A couple of things to comment on -

1) Liz your sick

2) Rats are only here because of the fall of man (that is at least what I believe, I have no biblical backing for that but still its my belief)

3) With people like the rat lovers in America, do we really stand a chance? Or are we in a whole lot more trouble then originaly thought?

Yo Brent - what's this I hear about you shaving an eyebrow?

Brent Steeno said...

I have a little "bet" going on with all the Summer Teens! They can not seem to beat me in anything. Which suprises me because I thought I had become a bit rusty in my athletics over the past few years. I guess I was wrong. They have yet to beat me in Basketball and yesterday I made a bet against all 250 STI teens. I bet them that I would be one of the last men standing in the game of Dodge Ball. Well, I was. So I no longer am under the threat of having to shave an eyebrow.

p.s. Thank you to all of the STI girls who I was able to hide behind in back for much of the game until there were not many left!

I can only imagine how rewarding it must be as a athlete to hide behind 14 year old girls during the heat of battle. You go, Brent!

Liz said...

Ha, ha! I save spiders instead of killing them too (buy putting them outside)!

We never give the teens enough credit. You'll soon be looking like Pink from Pink Floyd The Wall.

Brent Steeno said...

Very rewarding. All the kids were chanting "Brent is a coward. Brent is a coward. Brent is a coward. Brent is a coward!"

I felt like the gladiator. Everyone was against me, even some of my teammates! But it just goes to show how superior I am in my skills.

I should start betting money!

I could raise a ton of support that way!

Randy Bohlender said...

Brent, I'm a little concerned with the amount of time you spend on my blog, considering you're responsible for 200+ teenagers here for the Summer Teen Intensive.

As for betting money to get support...Did someone not once give you a word about getting a job? :-)

Liz - somedays I'm Pinky, some times I'm the Brain.

Kelsey Bohlender said...

OK, I have to tell you -- when you first mentioned this article to me, you said the veterinarian offered to have them "neutered" and I thought, huh, only in San Fransisco. Euthanized makes so much more sense!

Kelsey will be makin' NO friends in the greater rat community with comments like that one....
