On May 16, the Wall Street Journal had a great article on page one about people who love rats: "Their Calling Is Defending Rats, Yet These Folks Aren't Lawyers." The animal rights world went nuts over this article! Did you know that here in Philly we have our own group of rat lovers and protectors?
Rat Chick Rat Rescue and Advocacy Group is an all volunteer organization based in Philadelphia. They operate a virtual shelter model where the rats are maintained in foster homes by our members and rat loving friends, and work in cooperation with other shelters, groups and individuals to help find a home for any homeless rat.
The Rat Chicks also work within the community to educate people about these loving animals in an effort to dispel the years of negative image placed upon them.
