Well, every time any ARE spotted, the incident makes the regional/provincial news. And usually if there's a photo, it's pretty obvious the poor critters are domesticated rats that some smart-ass likely brought in and let loose. I figure it happens when someone brings pets in from another province, finds out that they can get into trouble, and then let loose because they're just fucking stupid.
That being said, something chewed through one of those big Rubbermaid containers the ex and I had in the trunk of the car when we were up in Hinton, and the only thing that comes to mind that would want to do that is a rat .. there wasn't even any food in it, it was just for raingear and other emergency shit.
