C.green 3,203 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Ive seen people pick up squirrels alive and theyve not bitten and seem half sort of friendly had dogs grab them and not kill them and theyve sat there calm like maybe rats are similar just not enough folk hand catching them lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greb147 6,808 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 A more adequate question is why on earth would you want to catch them by hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you seen the bloke who hunts with mink....he grabs em for fun. Are they just soft yank rats? Apparently him and plummer can do it. I try it once and look like a cnut. Need to do some more research. @Wolfdog91can you try and catch a yank rat for us in the name of research? I've watched plummer on YouTube taking one out of a trap and for someone who was meant to be good at it he looked like he was filling his kecks to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We just call them Brown Rats. 99.9% of references we'd make to 'rats' would be them. Rattus rattus has a whole host of names. We generally call them " Black Rats ". I believe they're called " Roof Rats ", in US? Some parts of the world, they even live up in trees and are fond of citrus fruits. Shippies, or ship rats is what we called black rats. I've hunted em and they don't look like them in the photo... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted October 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Bosun; It's just that I've had the odd doings with the 'Brown' ones. Those in the photo just don't, somehow, gel. Saying that? I realised, on reflection, it must have actually been Years now since I actually clapped eyes on a real, 'live' rat! Fukking incredible! But, nope; I probably haven't seen an actual, in the flesh rat for more than five years now! Fuukkk!!! Must be the old mind playing tricks on me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OldPhil 5,358 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Only ever seen the one example of a genuine Black Rat... That was many years ago in London's Dockland.. the rodent was incredibly agile and it was walking along a roof beam, in the Old Bonded Warehouses.

Greb147 6,808 Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Speaking of rats, my old lady has just told me about a situation with my brothers wife's step sister. She's got a baby to a young fruitcake who's just been released from the nick after he was detained for the shooting and killing of a young lad in Mexborough. Well the other week he's gone in her house, beat her unconscious and threatened to stab her to death in front of their baby. While she was unconscious he bit her all over her back and when she was coming to she saw him cleaning all the blood up. Apparently he's now on the run, I hardly know the lass but it's enough to rile any person, like me and my dad says, he wants knocking over the head and disposing of, imagine him doing that to your daughter. Her father needs to kill the cnut before he kills his daughter, I wouldn't lose no sleep over the rat that's for sure. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of people talk about what they would do to someone like that but never actually do it. Then moan when they only get a couple years inside 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The rat wants burying somewhere, he will come a cropper at some point, he's in a gang from the area who have been terrorising folk, clearly just an evil horrible b*****d.

But enough is enough surely, if you're in your 50's and all your kids have grown up, it's worth the risk especially when it's only a matter of time before he kills your little girl. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
