At the MTO licensing office in Port Perry they have a large cage with some Degu's in it. Beside the cage is a sign that reads like this:
We are Degu's from Chile.
NOT RATS!!
My daughter saw that today while getting her sticker and was very offended. I very much agree with her. I guess if I repeated what she said it would offend Degu owners. But the bottom line is that they make it sound like being a pet rat was a bad thing and that's just plain insulting. If a person wants to do that in their home, fine. But this is a government office. I will be writing to them, under Mumsy's Rat Rescue letterhead to complain.
