rat training

We, nation of Cute little girls, saw ourself surrounded by many powerful nations with equally powerful armies and realised we did not have an army with the numbers nor the strength to respond to a well thought-out offensive let alone counterattack nations who form a threat.
So we came up with a cheap and relatively effective new form of warfare, namely: the battlerats.
It is well-known that rats are smart animals who are easily trained, in the past they were used to sniff out mines and other hidden explosives.
So our military masterminds thought they might be used for offensive uses. This proved to be very succesful and led to the following sorts of battlerats:

-The vile rat:
These rats are trained to be extremely agressive: they run towards humans, bite them and then run away. The rats are infected with many diseases that are harmless to themself but devastating to mankind, like a modified form of the plague, smallpox and a fast working HIV virus (victims could die whithin 5 months time)
These would be most effective when let loose in cities since the rats would infect and breed with other rats, creating more rats of the agressive kind.
The training and preparing of each one of these rats would be a mere $2.5


-The kamikaze rat:
The kamikaze rat has an explosive device tied on its back or operationally placed in its insides, they are larger then ordinary rats, since they have to be able to carry explosive devices equal to a powerful m67 frag grenade. The rats are trained to run towards humans (or any other designated target) and bite the button on their tails which ignites the explosive
These rats are more expensive since they require more materials and more training, they would cost $5.5

We are currently trying to train an animal to succesfully destroy tanks

The blessed Chris is revulsed that you can even countenance the use of such creatures as weapons, and assures the leader of cute little girls that if we a re proffered conclsuive evdience of you're abusing animals in this matter, we will intervene in the conflict to negate the use of such weapons.

Speaking as a representative of the Rodent Alliance, I strongly advise you to halt this abuse of innocent rats. The forced conscription of these creatures into your military is bad enough, but the use of them as suicide bombers will not be accepted.

If you agree to halt this vile practice, I would be happy to work with you in developing an equally effective replacement.
