We’re so not progressive!

November 21, 2007

Late one night, ignoring my better judgement of going to bed before midnight, I decided to watch a documentary on TV. It was about rats. Yup, RATS.

At first I found them cute, I always find things cute even if other people find them repulsive and hideous (read: spiders, snakes, pusang napapanot, etc.) And yes I know their pests and I would gladly drive them out of our house one fly paper at a time, but not before I take a picture of them and post it in my gallery :D

But what really struck me about the documentary is when they featured the news bit about the new born baby fed upon by three huge rats in Pasay City. Apparently the mother left her baby to the care of her older child who in turn, went outside to play leaving the baby alone in their barong-barong. When the mother went up to check on her baby, she saw three huge rats nibbling (the news report says "pinapapak") on her baby's arm and legs!

Thank God that after 5 days at ICU, the baby got well naman. But I still can't get over the image of her arms and legs though, a whole chunk of flesh was missing! imagine kung ganu katagal siyang pinagpi-piyestahan ng mga daga to have that big a damage! Tapos the camera man decided to show the baby's face crying in pain pa!

To think na every time I browse through news papers eh I keep seeing a whole section dedicated to high end condos and villas, and that oh so convincing tv ad with "real" people declaring "Ramdam ko ang asenso!!!"
