If they ate the cows, where would they get the milk to feed the temple rats?
Hadn't considered that.
Saw a guy who was on Fox (yesterday I think) who had written a book about the worst jobs you could have.
Somewhere in the top 50 was Rat Catcher In India.
What a career! For 25 rats, you too could be paid a bounty of one British Pound.
The author did NOT mention if the Rat Catcher gets to consume his victims.
