From Eugene, Ore.: A large number of pet rats were discovered in vehicles. The animals were found in two cars, one of which was covered with a tarp. When the tarp was removed, several rats were visible inside. Conditions inside the car were unsanitary, with feces and trash present. The owner of the rats attempted to assist in capturing them, using yogurt as a lure.

Some of the rats were taken to a humane society, where they were placed in cages. The owner claimed to have rescued the rats. Further details about this incident are available from the source.

The total number of rats found was over 100, with some being transported to a shelter in eight cages.
