New York City diners forced onto the sidewalks at restaurants are now being attacked by rats as restaurateurs beg the city to tackle its sanitation problem.

The move has provided some much-needed income for restaurant and bar owners that were forced to shutter back in March but, with more food being eaten outdoors, the areas are also attracting huge rats.

Not the same New York Frank Sinatra sang about. More along the lines of: “Bite the Big Apple, don’t mind the maggots.”

They don’t even have to be big. Most of those terriers in the pictures are small. Given how hard headed and predatory they are that’s probably a good thing.

Sorry folks, your mayor is too busy protecting protesters and any behavior that comes with them.

Don’t ask the NYC to fix the your problem, they will demand that YOU put little face mask on the rats or your business will be closed.

liberals are wired differently. They are immune to facts, logic and the lessons of history.

Rat elimination isn’t part of the “narrative.” No glamour in attacking rats.

The “narrative” involves defunding the police, “social justice,” eliminating carbon emissions, providing free broadband to the “underprivileged,” Trump’s “collusion” with Russia, etc.
People who are concerned about rats need to get with the program.

Or a pack of rat terriers. Look up some of the videos. They’re a hoot to watch if you can stomach the sight of rodents meeting their toothy doom.

NYC better get used to it.

There’s no Republican Rudy Giuliani coming this time to clean up your decades of messing up the city again.

I just hope that when they leave NYC, they don’t bring their liberal Politics to Red States.

Eating on the sidewalk? They should have demanded that the restaurant bring out a table!
