Thread: Rats..... a first time for everything

My Uncles first job out of school was as a shepherd in the yards at Gear Meatworks Petone.Unloading rakes of livestock wagons.So of course him and his dogs would regularly put up the well fed friggin vermin.I can always remember him saying the biggest rats at Gear were the ones that lived& fed permanently in the blast freezers.He reckoned they had evolved like the wooly mammoth into gigantism with size and dense shaggy coats to survive the sub zero temps.True story.
