I think this gives some insights into xenophobia (and other things) in humans. You are reserved to what you don't know.

Rats are pretty amazing. I had a pet rat when I was a kid who knew how to get out of his cage and would climb into my bed and snuggle just like a dog. He also went on walks with me without a leash. He also knew commands, like 'go back to your cage'.

They really are impressive and lovely creatures. They remind me of little felines. Especially the way they groom.

I also had pet rats as a child and they were such wonderful pets. They are very very smart and have obvious human-like feelings.

I can't help but feel sad for all those rats that have been tortured for the sake of experiment.
