“[city laws were] designed to penalize homeowners for failing to take steps to prevent and control rodents”
“Rats and mice are not generally regarded as pets, but as pests; they have few defenders. Yet the pain a rat or a mouse feels is every bit as real as that of any pet. In laboratories, they suffer, as anybody who has heard them moan, cry, whimper and even scream knows. The experimenters dissimulate about this by insisting that they are merely vocalising.”
“If a rat is a good model for your emotional life, you're in big trouble.”
“How now? a rat? Dead, for a ducat, dead!”
