It can be a replacement for other animals that we are currently using. At that time, dogs were a really big research animal. He proposed mice as being, you know, cheaper, faster. They do have all of those things. We have amazing abilities to alter their genetics now. But all of that stems from the fact that we consider them pests. We consider them expendable.

Yes. Hundreds. And I feel bad about it. At the same time, you know, they worked really hard for me. They worked hard for me. I liked working with them. Rats are much sweeter than mice, by the way. If you're gonna have one as a pet, have a rat. Mice I like because mice are honest. Mice don't like you. They're never gonna like you. Rats like you.

You pick one up and after a while they snuggle into you. They'll like snuggle in your armpit or your elbow or they'll get on your neck. They're sweet and they're smart. They make great pets, honestly.

Yeah, that's Magrat is her name. And she is not mine. And sadly, she has since passed away because rats don't live very long. But she was a wonderful model. She did not pee on me the entire time. I was shocked.

They don't have to be the villain that we see them as. They could be something else. And the good news is that humans can change their minds. We do it all the time. So we could do it with rats too.

It never looks that good.
