"I Love rats"
"This is stupid! They are only a threat to crops when in the wild! Most people keep their rats until the rats die!"
"As a Canadian resident, i stongly object to such a ridiculous proposal. Domesticated rats are defenseless on their own. Domesticated rats, unlike wild rats, will most likely starve before they find another rat to beed with, and failing starvation, will tr"
"Banning rats is insane. I myself am a new rat owner, and now I wish that I had rats when I was growing up. Facy rats can't survive in the wild. Fancy rats can and are as affecionate as any cat or dog. Once you ban rats, what's next?"
"I played fetch with my pet today, I played tug a' war with my pet today...when I called me pet he came running, he is easily trained, and loves to follow me around house. He's even neutered, and guess what he's not a dog!!!! He's Gilligan, the rat oh and "
"come on, thats just ridiciules..."
"I live in Ontario, and am worried that the ban will travel here. If it's gone from Alberta to Saskatchewan, what's to stop it right? I think it's wrong. No one has the right to stop a responsible pet owner from owning something as wonderful as a rat!"

"The pets we keep should be OUR CHOICE."
"keep pet rats legal.it is ridiculous to ban such a sweet and intelligent pet because people are afraid of them and what they will "supposidly" do to society!!"
"RATS RULE AND YOU ARE CRUEL!!"
"i have four pet rats and i think they are just great. its like having four pet dogs and they are so smart ."
"Rats are cool, I can't stand to see ANY animal mistreated."
"Pet rats are DOMESTICATED animals and would not last 10 minutes outside. They pose NO threat to farms or wildlife. This proposed ban is RIDICULOUS."
"this seems to me to be a TOTAL waste of the government's time and OUR money! Surely there are more fundamental issuses that require governmental attention rather than this frivolous and ridiculous bylaw! These creatures are PETS, and while some people hav"
