Today, my dad killed my pet rats. They were playing on the sofa, and he thought they were vermin. This would have been understandable if the reason he came over wasn't to meet them, and they hadn't been wearing bright pink walking harnesses. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Your dad is a bit of an asshole, isn't he?

Those rats were obviously pets because of their harnesses. I have never seen a sewer rat or any other kind wearing a harness. Very rude of your dad.

Bad puns aren't welcomed here.

On no! I would be devistated if that happened to me! I used to have pet rats they are the cutest, cleanest, and smartest little rodents. Sorry! I hope your dad learned his lesson.

Your dad is a horrible man who should be shot. What he did is disgusting. I think he came over to kill them NOT meet them. Sorry man.

Rats = vermin and food for snakes!

Except for pets, right?

Rats are friends not food! ;) Snakes are food for a mongoose, or birds, some people even, I know food chains too, your point?

He sounds like the type of guy who gets a hard on watching a snake eat a mouse. They buy a snake just solely for the pleasure of watching it kill their food.

Amen!

As a snake AND rat lover, I am conflicted!

Your rats were wearing bright pink harnesses? That is sooo.. CUTE! I'm sorry for your careless dad :(

Domestic rats are very affectionate, curious and come in a variety of colors. Wild rats are mean, carry diseases and will eat your face in your sleep.

He knew you had pet rats, and killed them anyways. Just using the "I thought they were vermin" as an excuse. I wouldn't be inviting him over anymore. If you get new rats, he may see them in their cage running on the wheel.....yank them out an break their necks.....cause "he thought they were wild rats."

I've heard of harnesses for babies, rats too? R.I.P. little guys
