Terrific Mothering in Nature
We turned over a rat nest while rebuilding one of my oldest pallet pens today. Normally we would have disposed of them but mama rats actions inspired us to let them be even though it will be a problem I will deal with later if the foxes, owls or snakes don't take care of it first. She ran out as soon as we turned over the pile but as soon as her babies were exposed she made it back just as fast and didn't hesitate to come right up on us to save her babies.
We backed off and started filming this terrific display of mothering in nature where mama rat risked it all over and over for a chance to save her babies. She had carried off 3 before we started filming and then after we stop she still came back and searched the whole area again. We found a straggler moments later and sat over to the side of the grass where she had entered and not a second later she snatched that one up also and was off. She must have just been sitting in the tall grass waiting for a chance to find her one missing baby.

Sure, they are vermin and pests and disease carriers and all... but that was awesome, and I'd be inclined to agree that they deserved a chance.
Thanks for sharing!

They're only disease carriers because they're forced to live in our human wreckage and shit in general. They deserve better than what we offer them.
