LOVE RATS


"Star was happy to stay with me all day; gave me kisses on a regular basis; she was just a beautiful creature...

"I got more emotion and love back from Star than any of them...

"A fabulous, clever and very clean member of the family! Very sadly missed."

- C. Stockport

Studies on rats have been carried out at the University of Chicago.

The studies show that rats are kind hearted, generous creatures.

Professor Jaak Panksepp said: ''There is no question that all other animals have emotional feelings. The science is strong for that.''

The research shows that rats help cage-mates in distress and selflessly share their treats with them.

The research team say that empathy is not unique to humans.

Researcher Professor Mason said: 'When we act without empathy, we are acting against our biological inheritance.

'If humans would listen and act on their biological inheritance more often, we' d be better off.'
