All small pets (ferrets, rats, hamsters) deserve the same rights as bigger pets. They are still animals. A women in a group for small animals posted that her neighbor poisoned her pet rats, and admitted to it. After talking in the group we wanted to take a stand. They might be "pests" to people, but they are still loved by their owners. He had no right to enter their property, and kill their animals. The cops won't take it seriously. Help us have them understand.
