A St. Petersburg, Florida, woman has a serious love that has become a public health hazard. Florine Brown loves rats as pets and to her the rodents are family. She started with just a few rats and a few escaped over time. Now, local animal control officials estimate there are between 300 to 500 rats infesting the home which is filled with rat feces and the overpowering stink of urine.
Brown does not want to fumigate or kill the rats; she would rather find a happy home for the furry vermin. She told local media, “Everyone hates them, but I just want to give them love. Everyone says bad things about rats and I’ve never been sick or had any diseases or anything.”
In the meantime Brown is seeking good homes for her 300 or more rats. She called SPCA a year ago and the shelter told her there was no room for rats.
