Don't think I will be donating to the RSPCA anymore! How pathetic - it was a rat - they outnumber us! Local councils all over the world should be in the dock with them!!!!

I agree, Karen.  It's not like rats are endangered or anything.

Just as well they weren't filming on Rottnest Island (off WA nw coastline ... 'Rats Nest' Island) .... because if the 'rat' they killed and ate was a quokka they'd be in jail now plus heavy fines!

So I wonder if these people who want to save the rat...what would they do if they were stranded without food...starving...and a rat ran by. Would they wave hello? No...I think they would eat it!!!

The island was observed by various Dutch sailors from 1610, including Frederick de Houtman in 1619, and the three ships Waekende Boey, Elburg and Emeloort in 1658.

In his 1681 chart the English captain John Daniel marked what he had named as Maiden's Isle. That name did not survive, however.

The island was given the name "Rattenest" (meaning "rat's nest" in the Dutch language) by the Dutch fleet captain Willem de Vlamingh on 29 December 1696. De Vlamingh described the indigenous marsupial, called a quokka, as a large rat .[4]
