"It is much easier to arouse sympathy for dogs, cats, and
primates...but, ultimately it may be the lowly rat who truly tests if
humanity is worthy of extending its presence to new realms. There may be
no greater example of the withholding of compassion to a whole species
than our present treatment of the domesticated rat."
