Nope.......
Ditto, rat sounds like a fine meal.Sounds good to me,I'd love to eat rats.
While I'm sure most of us would squirm at the idea of eating rats. I have some pet rats that just had a litter. I'm pursuing the prospect of farming rats for food and fur. While rats have an ill reputation in the West, in most oriental countries rat meat is a staple, in some places in India a delicacy. And in many place the price of rat meat exceeds that of chicken and sometimes even beef (that would make sense in India). I have been studying this idea online. I mean, if push comes to shove, why not? Rats have been identified as consumable by humans.
What are y'alls thoughts on this? Any ideas. Since I'm looking into rabbit pelt tanning, maybe I can use that same knowledge to tan rat hides... they aren't any smaller than squirrels at any rate. It would take a lot, but hey, it's another option on the table. Though I've never heard too much demand for rat-fur coats.
Sure- if I were hungry enough? I'd eat em. No problem. But if I'm considering what animal to raise for this purpose? Rat is NOT at the top of that list LOLI know if I was real hungry I'd eat the butthole out of a skunk, so chosing starvation or rat eating....I'll imagine that they are little cheese filled cows and cover em with honey and all spice. Ummmm yummy.
Actually, if you've ever been to Mumbai you'd know they are all they have to eat. They aren't a delicacy in the least bit. But they are food as long as they are in the fields because of less germs (note less not none or little). City rodenté is :taped:.in some places in India a delicacy.

Not sewer rats. I'd rather starve. :taped:You'd be amazed what you will eat when your hungry enough.
Rats are just another little furry meal waiting to be enjoyed.
I would eat grubs or tree bark before I ate a rat. I doubt that the fur would be very valuable. The skin is too thin and it would take two lifetimes to sew enough rat pelts together to make anything. IMO. I certainly wouldn't be one of your customers but I can assure you that someone within our multicultural society would gladly pay $100.00 per head (and they might give you something for the body as well).While I'm sure most of us would squirm at the idea of eating rats.

It wasn't but a few years ago that rat meat was discovered in the burgers of one of the fast food chains. I believe it was Wendy's but could have been Burger King. Whatever the case...I wasn't a bit surprised. I wouldn't eat that cat food if you paid me.Rat Burger anyone?
