Animal-rights activist group, PETA. says the new vampiric horror film, Nosferatu, is giving rats a bum rap. Yes, rats! The group is claiming your chances of being hurt or killed by the furry rodents is the same as having a vampire bite your neck. This film logic sounds a little flimsy to us.
Read on.
PETA plans to protest a screening of ‘NOSFERATU’ due to the film depicting rats as the harbingers of death

Vampires are not real. However, rats are very real. As history has shown us, they can decimate entire populations of people.

That’s deaths, we’re not counting all the people who have been bitten by rats over the centuries. Those tiny teeth hurt! Definitely more real than a vampire’s fangs.
Still, some say they could support PETA, if rats were hurt or killed while the film was being made.
It's a horror about vampires.

Like I'd understand them if rats were killed on the set, but...
I'm an animal rights advocate. Protesting the portrayal of rats as harbingers of death in a vampire movie is a waste of resources. If rats were injured or killed in the making of the movie, that would be different.

That’s a cute little fella. But, don’t touch! He’s the real reason for this sudden PR battle over rats’ reputations. We’re kidding, of course. But, wish we weren’t. Because, that’s the only way this protest would make any sense.
