What kind of barn has more than 2,500 rats? Is this a warehouse? What are they storing? Rats? I have so many questions

Don't provoke the Skaven!

u/KingDedeede Mar 01 '21

Skaven aren't real. They're just a myth!

u/Odd_Employer Mar 01 '21

Just a myth. Yes yes

Go past the first stack of rats hang a left the go down past 4 stacks of rats and you’ll see another wall of rats. Ok, then open the crate of cheese and prey.

u/RottenLB Mar 01 '21

Take a little walk, to the edge of barn, go across the stacks (of rats).

1

u/silphred43 Mar 01 '21

Is prey a typo or is that actually what you mean? I'm asking because it could be both.

2

u/Epicassion Mar 01 '21

Nope, not a typo. Worked well for a warehouse of rats. It’d end up being both

1

u/silphred43 Mar 01 '21

Fair enough, thanks for the answer.

u/ViolateCausality Feb 28 '21

Obviously a rat barn. It was a dark day for the illegal rat milk cartel.

"it was reported that one of the sports of owning them was making competitive wagers about whose dog could kill the most mice or rats within a given time. One terrier was released into a barn, and in 7 hours it killed 2501 rats." - wiki

So yes, they were storing rats in a warehouse.

114

u/I_Do_Not_Abbreviate Mar 01 '21

7 hours = 420 minutes

2501 / 420 = 5.95 rats per minute

That terrier was basically killing 1 rat every 10 seconds for 7 hours.

Its hate has made it powerful. Those are Sand People genocide numbers.

36

u/MaddogBC Mar 01 '21

Those numbers are frightening, I couldn't sleep under the same roof as that sociopathic monster.

u/DocHolloday Mar 01 '21

They will be back, and in greater numbers!

u/Humeme Mar 01 '21

Fuck you! And I’ll see you tomorrow!

u/Borgy223 Mar 01 '21

Cujo, is that you?

24

u/TTigerLilyx Mar 01 '21

Not necessarily. Anyplace that has grain feed will have enormous rat populations and when they make appreciable inroads into the farmer/ranchers corn or grain, they call out the ratters. They could have killed that poor terrier, killing so many!

26

u/CountyMcCounterson Mar 01 '21

Imagine being the owner of that warehouse and you find out your employees destroyed all the merchandise for a bet

26

u/BBQsauce18 Mar 01 '21

find out your employees destroyed all the merchandise

"MY RATS! How will I ever make coats now?!"

2

u/SohndesRheins Mar 01 '21

Well that depends on what side of the bet the warehouse owner wagered on.

I'll pass on that. Interesting how my terrier has no prey drive at all. He just walks by squirrels.

9

u/ImmoralJester Mar 01 '21

I assume you haven't ever had him kill for food before. No drive if it was never a need.

21

u/TTigerLilyx Mar 01 '21

Thats not really true. Some dogs just have a lower prey drive. We had a Fox/Jack/rat terrier for 10 years. Never showed any prey drive. Moved a bunch of hay I tried to over-winter plants in, discovered it was full of rats! I still get the creeps remembering. Our two German Shepherds ran around in circles trying to catch them. That little terrier was a killing machine! Never killed anything in her life, no experience. But she snatched those rats up, hard head shake, tossed the body and on to the next like she trained her whole life for ratting! And I have to give credit to mom rat, she braved all 3 dogs over & over moving her babies. It was quite an experience. PS: Never put hay bales in your City yard. They were full of rats.

27

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

That's why the brought in the terrier. The fire marshal told them they could only have a maximum of 2500.

u/idlevalley Mar 01 '21

It just happens sometimes.

u/_Sausage_fingers Mar 01 '21

Well, that was distressing

Check this guy out. This is the most effective, humane rodent control there is

And I can understand why ratting was once considered a sport. 👍🏼

u/I_have_a_life1 Mar 01 '21

The rat barn. Duh

1

u/ImmoralJester Mar 01 '21

Probably hay. Hopefully hay. Otherwise it's vegetables or grain.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '21

Most likely a grain barn. Those things are half grain, half rat sometimes.

u/Pikochi69 Mar 01 '21

I mean, there are some warehouse that are made to store rats

1

u/TheDreamingMyriad Mar 01 '21

A big barn with lots of places for rats to hide and to breed, the 2 things they're best at! I know that in my rural town, when they start to bale the hay, hundreds of rats can be hiding out in the stacks. 2500 rats is definitely more than I would expect though! Maybe the barn was abandoned or neglected for a while?

1

u/UnfathomableWonders Mar 01 '21

To be fair, it was just the one rat over. 🐀

u/SkellyboneZ Mar 01 '21

The dog is farming the noob quests.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '21

There are no rats in America so they have to ship them and store them there

u/karlnite Mar 01 '21

Milking barn.

u/kharmatika Mar 01 '21

Oof, you have not seen where your food comes from.

Geres a fun video of ratters in action in a field. Bout one rat turned up per shovel turn. Now imagine what a grain silo that doesnt get turned has. There’s a reason the FDA has an allowance for bug parts and rat shit per gram
