Damn rats, they have ruined my interview chance again

I don’t like questioning divine wisdom for creating creatures like snakes and rats lest religious folks send me to my early grave for blasphemy. In the same vein, I still have faint echoes from my yesteryears when my biology teacher in high school -- I got a straight “F” in biology -- kept talking of ecosystem and food chain convincing me to believe that rats and snakes too should be given a chance to live. He said that each animal is food for another.
