I read this article with great interest. I support any measures to curb DC's rodent problems!

"Washington has a rat problem. During the earliest months of the pandemic, the rodent population dispersed as restaurants shut down and office workers stayed home. But when people and their trash came back into the public sphere, so did the rats — with a vengeance. As of July, there had been nearly 11,000 service-request calls to the city this year regarding rat infestations, according to the D.C. Department of Health. There were approximately 13,000 calls for the entirety of 2022."[/quote]

The tug 'o rat photo was particularly endearing.

So who has a rat terrier? I think it's time for a draft - we're at war![/quote]

The photo was DISGUSTING 🤢[/quote]

It wasn't quite as bad as the dog with the bloody snout.[/quote]
