The era of the "terrier" is over. The era of the RAT is eternal. 

Boston University students are wrongfully depicted as "terriers": self-suffocating, domesticated, unsophisticated, incompetent loser animals. On the contrary, Rats are amazing. Rats exemplify Boston Culture. Rats are strong. Rats know their neighborhood. Rats scavenge -- BU students are strong. We know our neighborhoods. We scavenge. For example, Allston Christmas is the human equivalent of trash day. 

Help us reach Boston University administrators, and demand that they change our school mascot to a rat, finally giving us the representation that we deserve. 

GO RATS!
