Qld man who ate live rat won't apologise

A Brisbane man calling himself Mad Matt who posted a video of himself biting the head off a live rat has refused to apologise, saying "man's gotta eat!"

The video is an attempt by Mad Matt, real name Matt Maloney, to create a disturbing new social-media challenge.

"The rat in the video was a feeder rat and was always going to die. I fed the body to my snake after the video and it wasn't wasted (I like to share)," Maloney posted to Facebook, attempting to justify his actions.

"I killed that rat 10 times quicker than the snake could of (sic). I'm sure 90% of you have rat poison and rat traps in your homes right now so stop acting like a bunch of sissies and accept the food chain.

"All your comments are cracking me up and not one person out there will be able to say anything that will make me feel bad or make me regret what I did. It's mother nature and man's gotta eat!"

In the video uploaded to his Facebook page, Maloney storms into a room, gets hit by a fluorescent tube, bites the rat's head off and washes it down with three shots of vodka, is punched in the face, has a chair broken on his back and then challenges viewers to "beat that".

The 24-year-old is being investigated by RSPCA Queensland, which condemned his actions and said "we will get this person".

Maloney wrote on his page that for his next video, to be released on Saturday, he will "get bitten by a python, another rats head (dead this time), drink a live fish in a glass of vodka, smash glass over my head".

Comments on the video and his Facebook page have described Maloney's actions as disgusting.

"Killing an innocent creature for your own selfish entertainment. You're a disgusting excuse of a human," Jen Whiteraven said.

However, on Maloney's personal Facebook profile his friends cheer him on and describe him as a "legend".

"Theyre just cut your getting all the likes. Massive sooks... Mans gotta eat really!!" Jay Field commented.

The video has been viewed almost 200,000 times.
AAP is seeking comment from Maloney.

It a bizarre and somewhat cruel thing to do. However, I do think that greater crimes against living beings are being committed on a daily basis in war-zones around the world. Interesting read, thanks for sharing. It takes all sorts!

He didn't eat it.
He bit it's head off.
A mere party trick.
Sensationalist headline.

It could have been worse. At least he didn't shag it first.

I did not see the video but pretty disgusting if true.

Animals suffer in captivity and nature anyway but making a spectacle of a human doing it deliberately for entertainment degrades the moral integrity of society by setting a bad example.

Cont should be locked up.

Next time I shuck an oyster and boil a Cray ill cry over it first.
Really he should bite off the snakes head and feed the body to a rat at a table full of Chinese roasting a live dog.

When a lad, I couldn't wait for the circus to come to town. Soon as it opened, off I'd run to the freak show. The bearded lady, snake woman, giants, midgets and sword swallower were great but the hit of the show was the geek. I think the OP guy is onto something.

Baldrick was in a travelling circus? Wow

Probably better than the glue traps I set around the back of my old house.


If I was to choose between having my head bitten off by a big fuckin' thing, or my whole body being glued onto a big plate thing for a few hours until he woke up, saw me, did a little dance, and tied me up in plastic bag and foked me in the bins outside, I would probably choose the former.

Another nanny state that's Luigi'd

They are nasty, those glue traps. But effective. I had a rat gnawing all my cables.

Set a trap up, woke up to see this sad bastard glued, and his underbelly melting away, ah sad shit.

Put him&trap outside in the sun. He passed quickly.

Pharken pussies, you're supposed to hit them over the head.

The guy is a disgrace to serious rat eaters worldwide. The correct way to eat them is to grill them on sticks and enjoy with a bottle of lao khao.

I don't believe anyone is thinking that there is nothing worse happening in the world
