Reminds me of one of the great lines from Hans Landa in “Inglourious Basterds”
I propose to you any disease a rat could spread, a squirrel could equally carry. Would you agree? Yet, I assume you dont share the same animosity with squirrels that you do with rats, do you? Yet, theyre both rodents, are they not? And except for the tail, they even rather look alike, dont they? However interesting as the thought may be, it makes not one bit of difference to how you feel. If a rat were to walk in here, right now, as Im talking would you greet it with a saucer of your delicious milk? I didnt think so. You dont like them. You dont really know why you dont like them. All you know is you find them repulsive.
Chipmunks are the bane of my existence. I do everything I can to eradicate their destructive beings.
I don’t find rats or squirrels repulsive. I also like ladybugs and spiders.
