I was coming in to say exactly this; I've donated to them in the past and they're amazing! And the rats are so interesting, I'd never seen ones so large before.
You must not be from a poor country... I remember I was 5 years old and our cat caught a rat almost as big as himself. It was huge! I'm 46 now but never forgot how big it was
"Fancy pants New England" ... checks in the white privilege chart... yep! White Privilege ππππ. America is the best country in the world! MAGA!
Even pet rats get pretty huge though. Particularly the males. The one in the picture looks to have white and brown patches... You'd usually expect that on a hamster. That's a domestic rat.

Itβs so horrible here ππ there are magaers around so it could be worse, but my God. Trying so hard not to flee to a red state!
Usernames can contain slashes? What a world we live in!
Population density probably has more to do with how common rats are. They seem to be plentiful enough in most big cities.
Pretty sure first world cat catching initiatives increase the rat populations.
Not sure if being in a poor country would make them bigger.
Seem to get big enough in well off Sweden
