SAN FRANCISCO — While authorities are trying to keep track of a San Francisco woman who was breeding rats in her room at a residential hotel and releasing them in public parks, they say their hands are tied as far as trying to stop her. She's been nicknamed "Rat Girl" by the people who've followed her behavior over the years. But officials told KTVU the situation is no laughing matter because her affection for rats could endanger her health and the health of the San Francisco public...

Rat Girl stumps SanFran officials. NYC has a Rat problem too.

The whole country has a rat problem. DemoRAT

[a fool in paradise]

Were they an endangered species?

How is this any different than cities that encourage safe sheltering of illegal immigrants?

They're lying. A big rat problem justifies a more powerful animal control bureaucracy with a bigger budget.

...they say their hands are tied as far as trying to stop her.

Yeah, well, they could pass an ordinance against it, but they are too busy banning plastic bags.

Priorities.

This is a big problem in San Francisco. They don't like the breeders there.

and releasing rats

and I suppose this is also a bad thing.

[Chode]

it can only produce a new RAT every nine months and then has to wait 17 years to set it free how many can that be???

oh, wait, they mean FOUR LEGGED RATS... well, that's a RAT of a different color

I wonder if the rats vote.

“Mommy, where does a democrat come from?”

HAHAHAHAHA!

[jcon40]

There’s certainly enough garbage there for the rats to eat.

Lets hope the rats dont get confused about what they’re eating

San Francisco womyn breeding rats...

Manuel,have you ever heard of the bubonic plague? It was very popular around here at one time.

[biff]

I especially see this as a plus for the SF area, at least the rats are hetero!!! /s

[SpaceBar]

I like rats, and keep them as pets, but this woman’s actions are very disturbing and irresponsible since rats, unchecked, quickly become pests that can spread disease and pose a danger to the public. I’m sure there’s a law on the books somewhere they can cite similar to California restrictions on ferrets, but mentally disturbed people seem to be the only animal on the lib’s endangered species list.

Lotta Asian restaurants in the SF area. Tastes like ‘chicken’? Just sayin....
