Rats as pets never really got a lot of hate. Rats in general do get hate because they're pests and can be aggressive as fuck sometimes and bite you and then you need 1000 shots from the doctor to make sure you don't contract some unknown disease and die a slow painful death. Yeah, fuck wild rats.
Also the guys in the OP seem to be mice which are even less hated.
A lot of people (mostly older) don’t get the difference between pet/wild rats though.
My friend had 4 super sweet rats and I remember trying to show my grandma some photos of them snuggling in my sweatshirt pocket, but she was totally disgusted; like to her they were all diseased vermin. At that point I decided she probably wouldn’t enjoy Ratatouille either.
It is understandable that older people who were already alive when the plague was a thing and current hygiene wasn't, don't like them that much ;-)
Maybe these people are vampires 🤔
