    They swim in the water, but is it a moral/ethical problem to eat them during lent?

    7 rats would feed the whole world.... because no one would eat them. Why would you even consider eating something whose name is RAT. That meat guy on TV... I forget the name of the show... but it's something like kill
    em and grill 'em. He served some up last week. Even so... you won't find this boy eating any. I trapped them all my youth and skinned the stinky critters... and not once did we consider eating one.

    See John, it just begs more questions...Are they best served with coffee made from snow or the swamp they came from?

    Boiled in snow for sure. And hopefully you come up on a North Korean democrat handing out cakes for dessert.

    Out of curiosity, were you trying to trap them, and why bother skinning them?
