So i assume that in modern, mechanized, farming, that whatever giant machine does the function of turning fallow fields also just kind of chops up the rats and other creatures living in the soil as it goes along?
It’s kind of interesting watching a video that could have been filmed any time over the last couple of hundred years or so and be practically no different to today.
My parents have a rat terrier. She’s the sweetest, smartest little dog. One day, we were out in the garage moving boxes and found a family of chipmunks that had moved in. The dog instantly ran over, grabbed a chipmunk, shook it to quickly kill it, dropped it, and ran off to kill the next one. Before we knew it, she had three dead chipmunks in a row for us.
It was both horrifying to watch our family pet turn into a killer but also really cool to see her instincts take over.
Terriers don’t fuck around. Now get that dachshund video of them flushing out badgers. Dogs were bred to be the way they be for a reason. Some of the best tools on the planet are dogs, and the bestest friends.
I own a terrier. I also live out in the country by a lot of horse stables. Apparently this has been a great year for rodents and since it’s gotten cold I’ve inherited a bit of a mouse problem in my house. My terrier first got really excited and aggressive at the smell and sound of them, like an actual hunter. Then he slipped on the hardwood and fell. Now if we hear the sound of a mouse he just sits there and looks at me with a concerned look on his face.
I was babysitting my mother in law’s Yorkie. It didn’t dawn on me to be concerned about my daughters bunnies. It should have. I’m not sure what was more traumatic for the kid…seeing the dog kill 2 rabbits or me trying to get the live rabbits away from the dog. I was able to save 3 but it was gruesome. I was covered in blood, the dog was covered in blood, the bunnies we’re covered in blood and there was blood all over the front yard, porch and front door. Kid is sitting there crying, I’m trying to lock up the living bunnies and figure out who needs help, the dog is in the house barking (oh blood inside the house). Come home from vet and my husband is sneaking around the side of the garage with a gun. Probably should have called him and told him what happened because he came home and assumed the worst.
Mistakes were made but I gotta admit I have a new respect for those damn little dogs. Kid seemed to get over it, she refers to it as “The Day of the Murders”. I’ve gotten calls from teachers lol
Watching this with my lazy fucking dog who hasn’t moved from the couch all night and she also ate like 7 French fries. She’s been sitting here farting all night and will look at me all sloppy and tired every now and then. She needs to get a job.
Pretty neat. Not for the rats, but still.
never knew rats hang in dirt like that
So can someone explain what the humans are doing?
I fell deep into a rabbit (rat?) hole watching this then getting suggested to watch trained mink hunting rats.

Terriers are like balrogs to rats.
That one dog just ate a rat at 4:55

Those are some big god damn rats.
Fun fact: Squeaky toys squeak to mimic the sound of a dying rodent. Dogs instinctually find it very satisfying.
This seems like a highly productive rat farm.
It’s clear to me now that the Empire in the Warhammer universe should have bred a massive army of Terrier men to stop the end times.
The squeaking.
Glad to see they’re using all-natural pesticides.
Charlie Kelly approves of this video
1:15 he just straight up impaled one on his pitchfork. Holy crap, i wonder how many are in the ground there.

Better than using poisons

I always feel happy when I watch dogs do their jobs
Terriers catching rats, police dogs doing police work, rescue dogs saving people ect it’s just wholesome
You mean Charlie work?
Looks like a decent yield at the rat farm this year.

So, what did you plant this year?
Rats.
This was the most interesting / fascinating video I’ve seen in a long while. Great post/find.

Spoiled little shit. I love him.
Seems pretty humane. Broken neck in less than 2 seconds is infinitely better than rat poison.
As a rat owner, I feel terrible for the rats.
As the owner of a working dog, though, look at those business motherfuckers!
