I heard on the TV news this morning that our rat-free status is in jeopardy again, here in Alberta. This is the second such infestation in just 18 months!
I suppose we need to clear up the rat situation, but I'm sure it plays a part in helping law enforcement, if informers cooperate with officers and lawyers to help bring their associates to justice.
It might be better to use "nicer" slang, if the term "rat" is the problem.
How about canary? They used to use that in the cartoons when I was a kid - "he sang like a canary"...
I suppose "pig" would be confusing, although one does "squeal" - however I believe that is still slang for cops.
Is "informant" off the table?? Hard to believe they are still considered "rats"...
It's one confusing "tail", that's for sure!

It's always "you dirty rat" - are there no clean rats??
