Why doesn't the Rat Catcher provide meat?

Rats meat is apparently similar to rabbit, chicken and raccoon meat (never had raccoon). And they can easily be used in any dish that uses rabbit or chicken.
Rat meat is oily and makes the meat pungent and gamey…

Im not going to try it myself as they may carry disease… and I just cant get over the thought of chowing down on rat… lol lol

I suppose our Farthest Frontier villagers could eat rats when there isn’t enough food to go around… followed by disease of course.
