I don't think it would work. Aside from the ethical questions, I'm not aware of animals being used to perform complex tasks without human supervision and care.

I don't think it would work. Aside from the ethical questions, I'm not aware of animals being used to perform complex tasks without human supervision and care. And if you have the human in there, you don't need a rat.

But if one human could have a hold of a mini army of rats, would that not result in some efficienies to be gained :)

It's certainly possible - saw a documentary once about some rats that cooked so well they wowed a top restaurant critic.

>I'm not aware of animals being used to perform complex tasks without human supervision and care. Shepherd dogs did legitimate work with minimal supervision. Guide dogs effectively supervise their owners. Animals aren't nearly as dumb as people seem to think based on their interactions with cattle and decorative pets.
