Good time of day, humans!
We’ve received some troubling news from New York.
[Not the Bee] Politicians craft plan to solve NYC's rat problem that involves "the pill"
This plan is going to fail for very simple reasons. No bait ever reaches 100% of ratkind. Rats are capable of multiplying very quickly; the numbers quoted vary across the internet but even skeptics agree that one pair of rats can multiply to at least 200 in a year. Hence, rat numbers would soon recover.
The limiting factor is always and everywhere food availability; but obviously New York humans aren’t doing anything about those big black plastic bags full of tasty stuff.
The only realistic motive to do this would be to conduct a mass sterilization experiment «for the science». Now who would be interested in this?
Using the opportunity, rats would like to make an announcement.
Reason #4,371 for me to get the hell out of this city.
Mayor Adams might make a secret deal with New York's five Mafia families to hire hit Rats.
