eatbees.com: radiant days rat survival  berkeley, california, july 1984 http://www.eatbees.com/rad/ratsurvival.html

A rat that feeds on gutter sludge becomes sick. A sick rat spreads disease, is a source of suffering to others, is hated and feared. The rat's very life force, its ability to hold its own in twisted conditions, is what makes it dangerous. A rat that fights hard for survival only hurts itself, and others. A rat that gives up trying is a dead rat, but at least the damage stops there.
