the phrase "the free rat would usually save at least one treat for the captive - which is alot to expect of a rat"...
it clearly isn't "alot to expect" if it's automatic normal behavior for their species. It actually implies it's the normal for a rat. It just isn't normal for those humans.
I think it means "chocolate chips are precious to rats" by that - ie that it is a big sacrifice.
If a rat has a better developed sense of empathy than you do, then you've probably made some seriously awful life choices somewhere along the line.
Empathy over natural selection ftw.
Empathy was created by natural selection - of groups, not individuals, of course.
You don't see them fuckng each other over for a goddamn percentage!
On the other hand, they willingly live in sewers and their sense of smell is stronger than ours.
But good or bad is still subjective.
E: maybe a little broad. I meant pleasant smells. In the case of rats probably dictated by biology.
You'd probably willingly live next to a bakery.
Rats together strong
I'm curious if the rat would bother to let the other rat out if it's not confined to an enclosure with the caged rat. If the rat can just run off and ignore the cries for help, will it still help? That would be much more impressive.
