Paris :
The world's first public relations campaign to persuade people that rats have feelings too, and they should learn to love them, has been launched in Paris, where city authorities are waging war to exterminate the four-million strong rodent population.
“Stop the massacre of rats,” is the slogan on posters on the walls of dozens of metro stations, which show pictures of cute rats and declare that rodents “are sensitive individuals” which can “feel emotions.”
The more visible presence of rats over the past couple of years - which has led to shock headlines across the world - is due to flooding and to major infrastructure works that forced many rats to leave their usual haunts and run around streets and parks.
The infestation first came to public attention in late 2016 amid an outcry from Parisians that they could no longer frequent several city parks due to marauding rodents.

All creatures have emotions and feelings. Is this new to some?

Rats make excellent, if very short lived, pets and have been shown to be affectionate creatures in the right circumstances.
That having been said... kill them all. They cease to be cute when the little bastards are scurrying about spreading disease.

Anyone with respect for the cinematic masterpiece, Ratatouille, could have told you that for free.
