Here are links some news articles pertaining to domestic rats. I'm not including articles about wild rats, because they don't really pertain to our pets, and we can all agree that wild rats living in human places often cause problems. (Some articles may be other kinds of "pet" rats rather than Rattus norvegicus.)
WARNING: Some articles may be disturbing to an animal lover. Avoid the last group of links if you don't want to read about the cruelty and inhumanity of human beings.
