"People love squirrels." "People don't like rats." "Never dismiss the public relations value of a cute backside." "I won't be commenting, please." "That, and not wiping out the bulk of Europe with the plague."
Recent research suggests rats may not have played the critical role in keeping plague going in Europe. It was mostly spread by fleas! I’m not saying that rats didn’t have fleas, just that they got a bad rap for it.
