Wednesday: How rats are handled in movies

You know how rats look in most movies? They look like they are filthy and oily and mad. Well they are! But it's not their fault! They clean themselves 95% of the time that they spend not eating. So they didn't used to be filthy. The movie directors put oil on the rat and make rats look more scary like this picture: 

You can see how scared the rat is in this picture. You can also see that it is squinting right? This is because they used a bight light to make him squint because it looks mad that way. Because when rats are happy their eyes are round and the bulge a little. The rats get abused to an extreme level! 

The worst part hasn't even been said yet. To get the rats to move they way they want him to move they flash a really bright light towards the rat and scares them in the opposite direction. That is most likely why the picture of the rat above is squinting they are probably getting flashed with a really bright light that may partly blind them. So they make the rats angry confused mad and all of that stuff just to get the rat to do what they wanted him to do in the movie. That's just awful.

It's sad and cruel. I think they should at lease tell the people who are watching the movie that they did this to the poor rats instead of keeping it a secret. It's just so cruel! 

Anyway, that is what they do to the rats that are in movies. Some don't I have to say but lots and even most do. 
Thanks everyone,
