Rats=Lentils

I’m watching a program about exterminators on the Discovery Channel. This program is about people who need an exterminator to do away with pests or vermin that have invaded their homes. Now, not every one on the program is a disgusting slob, but the severity of the problem is usually directly related to the lack of the occupants' hygiene.
One group of homeowners has a SEVERE rat infestation. The real problem is that these three women are vegans.
Vegans as you know hold themselves to a strict code of using little to no animal products. They call an exterminator because of the rat problem. Apparently, the infestation is so bad that the exterminator recommends putting out traps and killing the rats in a process that will take about a week. But, these ladies have a “moral” objection to killing these rats. The 100% natural method of rat removal is estimated to take a year.
Waiting a year, while in line with their morals, is just too long to wait. So what is a principled vegan to do?
They propose a trade to the terminator man. If he will live as a vegan, they will let him have his way with the rats. OK, how is the exterminator responsible for the rat problem? Why is it attractive to him to live as a vegan? He is not the one with the problem or the one who wants the problem removed. They are acting like he wants to just come in and kill animals, and so to allow him to do so they are going to put some stipulations on him.
THEY CALLED HIM!!!.
Ok next problem: If killing rats is evil, how does his temporary vegan diet offset their guilt? They are ones who don’t want to wait patiently for the method that complies with their chosen lifestyle, to be effective.
Third problem: I thought it was intolerant and insensitive to force your lifestyle on others.
Fourth problem: Even though he didn’t want to, the Exterminator manager agreed to it, making his employee live this lifestyle. They did not seem to be desperate for work, and since they were on TV they had an alternate income source. Since when is it appropriate for an employer to make these demands of his employees? Why did he not agree to live the vegan life?
I posted earlier in my anti-smoking Nazi rant, that the customer has no right to demand certain behaviors of the business owner. If the businessman wants to he can meet the demands.
This whole thing has reduced me to a sputtering incoherent mess. This is unbelievable on so many levels.
