    When I moved to AB from ON I thought the idea that you could have a province with no rats just seemed ridiculous.

    But there aren’t any rats here. Field mice sure, but no rats.

    More power to the Kiwis to remove an invasive species.

    Now if only rats didn’t make such wonderful pets. Adorable friendly dudes those fancy rats are. (￣ヘ￣)
