I wouldn't do all that shit for a mail order bride, let alone a couple of rats.

Hotness might be a factor, but still would be a tough call.

Hotness of the chick, not the rats btw.

I would like to adopt, even if I have to drive 1 1/2 hours to pick them up, and pay a $100 adoption fee. It's the info I don't want to give. In the past I would just lie on the form, but I don't feel like doing that.

I emailed the head lady, and told her, and asked if she could recommend any breeders. She emailed back and said all reputable breeders or rescues will also require that info. So I emailed her back and asked if she could recommend any breeders.

I guess petco is probably going to get my $20.

If you wanna wait a few weeks, I'll be in downtown Chicago to meet someone for work.

They have HUGE rats behind the Cubby Bear Sports Bar that hang around the dumpsters all day long. They're not even afraid of people for the most part.

I can get you a few for free basically, less shipping costs to get them to NH. They're fuckin big onez.

Looks like they will make more money off selling your info to information brokers than the sale of the animal.

Aren't pet rats like, $5 at the pet shop?  Why are you bothering with this bullshit?
I adopted our first dog from a 'rescue' and filled out a bunch of shit, the app talks about home visits for evaluations and a bunch of crap.  Turned it into the lady, paid her, she never looked at the paper once money exchanged hands.

I wonder what actually becomes of this information. I wonder if any "suspicious" answers have ever gotten anyone arrested. And make sure you get male rats, the female ones are too aggressive.
