Jack Russell Terriers were bred for rat action. That's why white rats were bred - to show off the blood better from being attacked by the Jack Russells in front of a paying and betting audience.
I read an article back in the 1980s on "The Royal Order of Rat Catchers". Esquire, GQ, or the like.
There was such a thing in England, and in the 1960s, the British equivalent of "frat boys" at a uni managed to revive the organization, more as an excuse to party than to actually reduce the animal vermin population.

I have the solution.
Import the homeless from San Francisco to NYC.
They’ll urinate and defecate everywhere, and the rats will move to find a cleaner place to live.

The rat and the pizza ended up as some illegal’s dinner. As Sylvester Stallone said in ‘Demolition Man’, “rattaburgers, pretty good”.

Looking at the videos and reading the stories I find in amazing that New York, for all its’ regulations and legion of government rules and regulations would allow businesses, apartment buildings and even private residences leave garbage on the street for removal in plastic garbage bags.
Most decent major cities have actual departments that fight infestation.
They have ‘rat patrols’ that are a group of workers who eliminate the potential rat and vermin problem through proactive measures like requiring garbage to be kept in containers with lids that close. Responding to complaints abut rats within several hours or a day and finding and eliminating the nests and potential hiding areas, constant baiting and removal of dead rats and the constant cleaning of public areas by street departments.
I can not believe they do not require covered dumpsters and trash containers. That alone eliminates a huge source fo the food that rats live on.

Did you forget that liberals run and live in that city? Therefore facts and reality have no meaning. So they will probably never figure it out.
