People can just be so cruel! Someone in CT let loose over 100 rats in the town of Colebrook along the Farmington river. Here is the story, click the image to the right to watch the video: Colebrook Residents Complain Of Rat Herd - Local News Story - WFSB Hartford
It was on Private land so the guy had a bunch of people out there SHOOTING the rats. Some of the video is hard to watch. I had wondered if anyone even tried to see if the rats ran up to them. Well It turns out, a rabbit rescue has picked up these rats. You can see them here:
Harmony House Rabbit Sanctuary » Colebrook Rat Project
Many are PEW, Black/Agouti/Beige Hoods, and black selfs. I am cross posting this so that maybe we can rally some homes for these guys, or get fosters to raise some of the babies for sure are on the way. I am simply cross posting this, if you would like to help out with fostering or can adopt a kid or two, please contact Sharry at sharry@veganpeople.net

Oh my goodness, that is so sad/sickening! I really can't take on any more rats right now, but I'm still tempted. Please keep us updated.
