A co-worker brought a disturbing case to me this week and as I gather information the plot gets worse.
First bit of information was the most shocking. Her friends brother, we'll call him Jay, had acquired two female rats from a home he visited a week back. They had been unsuccessfully"frozen" alive, yes you read that right, they were freezing live rats and failing at it! So these poor rats were freezing cold to near death and feeling every moment.
Then it turns out these were just two of 15 rats that failed to freeze for this person. Another friend took the other 13.
This is where the plot deepens and gets sadder. The two he took were pregnant so not only did they suffer their unborn babies did too. Momma #1 gave birth to 9 babies approx 2 weeks ago, mere days after her near frozen ordeal....Momma #2 gave birth this week to 9 as well. All babies miraculously survived!
I finally got in touch with the Jay who rescued the two Momma's and he gave me more info and is trying to get more yet to bring this horrible person down!
He had all these rats in 1 cage. At least 15! So if there are other females with the other gentleman who took the other 13 I bet there are more babies expected.
I can take some of the male babies when the time comes but I cannot take all 18! I am reaching out to get help in rehoming and rescuing these babies as Jay cannot keep more then 3 pets total in his home.
They are in London Ontario. I am working on more info, possible anonymously message on fb!
