I remember many years ago chatting as a young boy to my Dad in our back garden...Mid conversation he walks away and returns with his shotgun and seems to be pointing it at me..
"Bloody hell, he's going to shoot me" I think to myself..
Bang !! He shoots a rat behind and away to one side of me ...
Funny now, not then

Ok folks

Here's something for all you folks with a rat phobia, personally I hate them but I'm not scared of them. As a teenager I had a high powered competition air rifle with telescopic sight and had permission from the owner of a wood yard I could control their rat problem.

Bagged hundreds of them over a couple of months, best one was a rat hop, skipped up a pile of planks about 20ft high and was at the top sniffing the air. Got him in the chest with one shot and saw it jump up with surprise and then came tumbling down the pile to the floor dead as a post. A few of them were also massive, don't know about the cats having a problem, a Rottweiler would of been hard pushed to tackle a few of them.

Anyway enjoy lol.

I like rats and don't understand the fear and phobia. If people wearn't so dirty there would be fewer rats. (NOT that I'm blaming anyone on here - just a general observation of cause and effect!!)
However spiders, smaller and therefore much more dangerous always require medicinal vodka.

I killed a rat before....


But it was dying of some poison very horribly and slowly. I can't stand slow painful deaths.
