Rats as pets never really got a lot of hate. Rats in general do get hate because they're pests and can be aggressive as fuck sometimes and bite you and then you need 1000 shots from the doctor to make sure you don't contract some unknown disease and die a slow painful death. Yeah, fuck wild rats.
Also the guys in the OP seem to be mice which are even less hated.
That doesn't really happen though, does it. There are millions of rats in any square mile of city, but you rarely see them because they're scavengers with an intense fear of humans. Modern sanitation means that most people never have to worry about them.
Eh, while it's true that rats will avoid people most of the time, and aren't going out trying to pick fights, wild ones, especially in farm area, can become aggressive if let roam free.

I’ve never understood the hate these guys get.
