    Hi,

You Know Where would have to freez over before they out law any of those. All these rats are a HUGE role in how/what we use for medicine or lab testing, few ppl keep them as pets. As for a the common rat or ones we like to feed are snake are called the Fancy Rat which is consider a domesticated Rattus norvegicus. With that being said there is no worry if 669 some how gets passed there is no worrys of snakes going hungry.

    This bill would fly out the window if they wanted to try to eradicate the common rat, it would cost us Billions of dolloars


    Here is a link to a web site that scratchs on species, strains, breeds and varieties
    http://www.ratbehavior.org/RatSpecies.htm

    The idea they will not be banned as pets simply because they are used in laboratory testing is flawed.

    They test on primates and many other species of animal too - and they are not on the exemptions list either.

    Back in the day I took an environmental science class in college. A bigger threat to native animals is non-native plants. Non-native plants kill native plants that native animals have been eating and thriving on for decades. Why don't these liberal wackos start buy going out in the woods and digging up all the non-native plants in America? That should keep them busy for a while and off our backs.
