Rats - a special report

Discovery

Available for over a year

Programme about rats. The rodents often strike fear into humans who will feel disgust when they see a rat. But as being kept as pets, rats have also been eaten as a delicacy in the past. Their connection with the spread of the plague in the 1600s however set the precedence for their reputation as disease-carrying vermin.
