Chicago is said to be the rat capital of America. The city is expected to break last year’s record for the number of rat complaints.
“Walking to the subway after work, I looked down and there was a rat walking alongside me,” said a trained journalist not given to exaggeration. “It was gigantic, like a small dog or a fat squirrel. It just walked along without fear.”
But don’t worry, Chicago. I’ve got a guy. And I hope Mayor Rahm Emanuel is listening.
Jordan Reed, the legendary American rat catcher, is known far and wide in the rat-hunting community for the pack of terrier dogs he calls his “mongrol hoard.”
He’s on an upcoming episode of “The Chicago Way” podcast on WGN Radio that I co-host with Jeff Carlin. And he’s talking rat dogs.
“It kind of sounds to me like you guys should start a club — or someone should start a club — a rat-catching club, to share information and to see if your dog has what it takes,” Reed said.
Reed then listed the best rat-hunting breeds and described how to train a rat dog.
What’s ironic is that in the neighborhoods overwhelmed by rats, there are perhaps thousands of pet terriers that never are allowed to reach their true dog potential.
“If you never allow a terrier to have some risk, it probably has never once gotten to be a terrier, and that’s sad,” Reed said. “When you have a dog that was bred to work in pitch blackness, underground, you’re basically dealing with a fearless animal. And really tough ones. Ones that can take a lot of punishment without quitting.”

Donald Trump foresaw all this, whether or not in such imagery. He realized that America was profoundly in danger of falling, that the decadence of Western Civilization was deeply entrenched in America. He offered his staggering intelligence and enormous personal resources, at great personal risk to himself, to save the America that he loves. He is a true hero, one of the greatest heroes in history.
Millions of healthy, ascendant, honest, just Americans understood this too. This is why they elected Donald Trump to the Presidency and continue to support him.
If the Trump Revolution succeeds, America will have a renaissance of ascendancy, and the American Dream of liberty, justice, and prosperity for all the people of the world will live on to be fulfilled.
If it fails, America will fall. The Dark Age that will follow is too horrible to contemplate.

And they all vote, twice. More if they are dead.
Terriers are the way to go. They kill rats for the fun of it.
Terriers are fearless. Some times too brave for their own good. We had a Cairn who mixed it up with a trespassing German Shepherd and he was lucky to survive. He had to wear one of those plastic (`Elizabethan’) collars and bumped into things for weeks.
Keep in mind, “pit bills” (sui generis) are terriers bred with old English bulldogs.
When bull baiting was banned, English `sports’ started ratting contests, legal, and even dog fights, illegal, which could be done in-doors. Believe they ban pit bulls now.
The two Jack Russell’s I had before the pups I have now were also fearless. They are a big dog in a little dog’s body. One of them got out of the fence once and ran across the road after a groundhog. My daughter caught up with him just in time to pull him tail first out of the groundhog den. That same groundhog killed my neighbor’s Beagle just a couple of days before that. We finally did away with that groundhog but you are right, they are fearless! Both JRT’s lived to the ripe old age of 14+ before passing but I don’t know how. LOL
You both share best post of the thread award.
NYC already has a R.A.T.S club for hunting rats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXTiYQzzbB8
Unfortunately Diblasio is still mayor.
