How do the people of New York feel about snakes in the streets as compared to rats?

I get that its a joke but snakes don't control rat populations very well because snakes only hunt when hungry, and don't become hungry very often. Even cats will get bored and befriend the rats after awhile. Jack Russell terriers are the way.

Known to attack people. There are parks with signs "Vicious owl will attack people, wear a hat."
