Yeah, it shouldn't be its own article, but can we merge it into something? List of torture methods and devices maybe? Dreamyshade 04:46, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rat torture is used to kill somebody in the novel Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves by Matthew Reilly. Might be worth mentioning in the "in fiction" section. 92.200.21.221 (talk) 19:00, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Similar rat torture as in "Game of Thrones" episode 2x04 was depicted as well in a 1978 TV-show from former Yugoslavia, Sedam Sekretara SKOJ-a. The bucket was also placed on a man's chest and heated with a hot clothes iron. It feels like that show should be mentioned because it happened before. I don't know the exact episode. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supersmola (talk • contribs) 10:05, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rat torture was used during the russian revolution by the bolschewists. Source: "Der Blutrausch des Bolschewismus" by Robert Nilostonski. Hitler was alledgedly affraid of it. source: http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/questions-of-culpability-in-wwi-still-divide-german-historians-a-953173.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.70.115.135 (talk) 18:11, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

1984

The famous rat torture scene in chapter 5 part three of George Orwell's 1984 needs to be included in the fiction section, unless there is some reason for omission that I've overlooked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.33.32.40 (talk) 02:36, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rectoscope

There is a section in the article discussing the rectoscope and it's use on Jewish prisoners. If you read the 1984 Nunca Mas report, I don't think there is any mention of the rectoscope or any Jewish prisoners at all. Is this an urban legend? Are there any actual accounts of this anywhere in history? Jamesfreeman526 (talk) 14:15, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Primary Sources

Another section of the article mentions rat torture being used by Brazil during the military dictatorship, but following the link takes you to a reactionary article with no mention of rat torture. Where is the accurate primary source for this use? Jamesfreeman526 (talk) 14:30, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
