[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better, harsher abatement is necessary.  A team of rat dogs and a couple of handlers can clear a block in a night.  [/quote]

This.

A Ratter team (handler and 3-4 trained Jack Russel terriers) can kill HUNDREDS of rats a night.

Ok, all of these are great suggestions, but what can we do to force city to do something?  And because everything is so controlled, [b]I doubt that it would be ok for some random home owner to bring a team of trained dogs or cats or falcons and unleash them without some neighbors complaining and owners getting fined.[/b]  We should have the city pay for this and hire professionals.

We kill so many feral cats in shelters, they are not easily adoptable, and they get neutered/spayed and released.  Why not get some of them into the cities? They can co-exist with us like they always did and do in many places.  Falcons and trained dogs would be on demand (as they require trained supervision), and cats would be to do maintenance work while we sleep  :wink: . [/quote]

It would have to be city sanctioned and residents made aware, especially with dogs. As someone with extensive dog handling experience, people lose their minds over dogs in this city. Like a 15 year old decrepit Golden laying down outside a coffee shop without a leash is getting a 311 call and a fine, no way would people be ok with 6 Jack Russells flying through the alleys killing hundreds of rats. Though a PP was correct in that this could work. I'm fine with the cat thing too. [/quote]
