Man Charged With Eating A Live Rat

He must have been real hungry! (or stupid.)

A Utah man faces an animal cruelty charge after a Facebook video surfaced showing him eating what appeared to be a live baby rat.

Too bad for him, PETA saw his Jackass-like antics and informed the authorities.

The video shows a man putting what appears to be a tiny, hairless rat in his mouth, chewing it up and swallowing it.

Andy Ray Harris of Tooele was charged with the misdemeanor in April after authorities viewed the video.

Harris has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
