it was a stereotypical rat from an era where people thought rats would bite people unprovoked, spread lots of disease and generally be evil creatures when no animal is truly evil.. much like the stereotypes it is a lot to do with projecting human feelings and bias onto a non-sapient creature : Moby Dick Syndrome.

unless it has proven sapience or is of the completely monstrous scale of non-sapience (i.e. Blob, Xenomorphs etc) then no.. you may not like it but we're not budging.
