Rats are scavengers, and their place in the ecosystem is to get rid of dead animals and rotting food before it can poison the environment. They don't decompose it the way bacteria works in your compost bin, but they eat offal and carrion and turn it into nutrient-rich droppings that fertilize the ground without spreading flies and disease.
