[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The animal cruelty laws in the city now mostly prohibit killing rats. The means of combatting them has shifted to containment and securing food sources. Thank PETA and other similar groups. [/quote] It appears that "common rats" can be exterminated . The inability of DC to do so is, indeed, a choice by our politicians however in where their priorities lie. The rat situation is and has been horrifying for a long time now. "While the law exempts “commensal rodents”--varieties of which most people know (or have seen) as common rats or house mice--the rice rat and deer mouse, which are found in the District, are not defined as commensal and apparently are not exempt from the law." https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/va-ag-fears-dc-law-may-relocate-rat-families-virginia[/quote]
