I took in a rat yesterday that was found stunned, in the middle of the road, by an extremely caring individual. ๐
As you can see, there are some abrasions to the body. ๐
Some might ask why I choose to accept a rat. ๐
It’s ironic since a few days ago, I found myself unable to keep silent when I saw a post on a local town page regarding killing a rat and their dog squeezing the last squeak out of it. ๐
I was shocked & horrified by the comments & jokes that followed. ๐
I’m not naive. ๐
I understand entirely that animals coming into houses and infestations can be a problem that needs to be dealt with. ๐
What I can’t understand are the people that have little to no compassion for an animal that’s just trying to survive. ๐
I can tell you that every animal I’ve taken in feels pain, gets scared & does not deserve to suffer simply for being there. ๐
The world would be a whole lot better if we all showed a little more compassion & empathy ๐
