Ratatouille movie may be changing hearts & minds in France!

There are plenty of rats in Paris this year...

Hmmm, it sounds like it may be more a case of displaced rats. It is nice that people aren't getting as freaked out by them, although they have sent in the exterminators...

Yes, I don't know why they would bother. When the water
Subsides, the rats will go back to their homes.

Yeah, not thrilled with the exterminator part either...sigh..but then again this is a rat forum so of course "exterminator" is a bad word here, ha ha. Loved the video. Glad to see that the Ratatouille movie may have had a lot to do with softening people's perception of rats. They have had so much negative media portrayal in the past in films, etc, that it was great when Ratatouille came out! :lovestruck:

nice that people are willing to co-exist with the ratties
but

Paris isn’t taking this rat invasion lying down, however. Following sweeps earlier this year, exterminators are being sent in yet again to clear the menace

Yep, bummer on that part.

I think the person who referred to the ratties as "a menace" needs to watch the Ratatouille movie a few more times :wow4:
