Matricula cards can't be too far behind.

[Lunatic Fringe]

for allegedly raising 35,000 rats in cruel and filthy conditions.

Are we sure it wasnt a Dem Convention in a Detroit Hotel?

[Sabertooth]

Mmmm... rats.

[Michael Barnes]

These suckers make quick work of rats..

[red-dawg]

"..cruelty to the rodents."

What's wrong with this phrase?

The manufacturer of Raid is next to be indicted, for the murder of tens of millions of ants and roaches.

Aren't filthy conditions a natural habitat for rats?

[sep·ten·tri·on XX]

Yeah. But I guess like all living things, they still like to breathe.

[Shmokey]

The rat's lawyers are pro bono as a professional courtesy.

[new cruelty]

BWHAHAHA!

[anymouse]

Wouldn't clean, sterile conditions be considered crule conditions to raise rats in?

The perp was quoted as saying, "I started with two rats and before I knew it they were everywhere." :)

This makes me want to use the F word. Who cares what happens to rats. Why would anybody give a rat's ass? Rats are universally hated. What a stupid state.

[Guillermo]

WTF cares what a rat likes?

Rats are held in high regard in some places around the world.

"Mr. Rat, I have a writ here says you're to stop eating Chin Lee's cornmeal forthwith. Now it's a rat writ, writ for a rat, and this is lawful service of same."

"See, doesn't pay any attention to me. You can't serve papers on a rat, baby sister. You gotta shoot him or let him be."

[katze]

I believe you are correct. India, perhaps? IIRC, they feed them in the holy places (whatever they're called).
