  10. I have no love of rats, but I also don’t want to watch a terrified creature being torn to death by a pack of dogs. Why would anyone?

  12. I am just thankful that the rat was not hurt. The aggression displayed by those dogs is terrifying.

    1. Is this a serious comment? I mean, for a dog, chasing a rat is not agression; it is just normal medium sized predator behavior.

  13. My dog hunts vermin at our weekend house all the time. I would not let her take down a NYC mouse or rat, ever. They are covered in crap, likely ingested rat poison and god knows what else
