Has a rat ever done anything to you to create this animosity you feel toward them

- If a rat were to scamper through your front door, right now, 

would you greet it with hostility?

Has a rat ever done anything to you to create this animosity you feel toward them?

- Rats spread disease. They bite people.

- Rats were the cause of the bubonic plague but that's some time ago.

I propose to you, any disease a rat could spread, a squirrel could equally carry.

Yet, I assume you don't share the same animosity with squirrels that you do with rats, do you?

They're both rodents, are they not?

You don't like them.

You don't really know why you don't like them.

All you know is you find them repulsive.
