skycat 6,173 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Maybe you should explain to him that even if they are 'field' rats they still carry Leptospirosis and he could die if he accidently puts his hand where it has pissed then eats something without washing his hands: only the other year a bloke died from Lepto after eating his sandwiches which he'd placed on top of a barrel where rats had been. http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Leptospirosis/Pages/Introduction.aspx 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 dont quote me on this but i remember reading rats piss constantly and 30% of rats carry lepto so if you put your hand down on rat piss theres roughly a 1 in 3 chance of comming into contact with lepto, also please explain that feeding vermin is against the law Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosun11 537 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Ha.. Must be the area mate, my neighbours were very much the same when they first moved in and started feeding the birdys. Fecking rats everywhere and when I went round to tell 'em the error of their ways they becond me in to a pitch black house with the family perched in the kitchen watching them feed an play in the garden, they thought thats what living in the country was all about.. wildlife!! Anyways after a 'strong' word or two an a loan of my crappy airgun to their keen 17 year old. He shot one, they stopped feedin 'em and then asked me about getting a dog. A tidy lurcher was obtained and we've gone on to giving the local critters a fair bit of excercise and now my daughter can play happily in a rodent free garden... Moral of the story GTE, get yer neighbour a terrier...!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asanley 1,009 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Saying rats arn,t vermin is the same as saying Lab dosn,t take it up the wrongun , or Stewie dosn,t like a drink , or Whin makes sense ,or Scot would live in Bradford etc etc 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
