“We are horrified that a former teenage employee would conduct themselves in that way and make such a video of which we are investigating its authenticity,” said Richard Stula, the president of Teddy’s Bigger Burgers.

“We will then send a corporate team in to inspect and complete a thorough audit of the location before it is allowed to re-open..."

Wel, heck, a couple Filipino groundskeepers were busted for catching some guy’s dog and eating it. Is not rat on a stick an appetizer for them as well?

Back in the 70s there was a Philippine company marketing canned rat meat in North America under the label Star (rats spelled backwards) Meats.

Also saw a documentary on companies who paid farmers to round up rice paddy rats which are large and they then processed the meat for sale.
