    It's a hoax - someone I know who's a radio researcher investigated it further and was advised there was camera trickery involved.

    Thank Christ... :eek:

    Well old news at this stage OP, story was out yesterday

    Anyway, it was all over the radio shows yesterday

    The person who shot it managed to take a dodgy photo, sold the story to papers and then dumped the rat where it's claimed it was eaten by foxes.
    So the radio show researches can't do a followup story.

    Complete hoax and more fool you for starting a thread on it
