Reply to comment by Zeric79 in New York eyes ‘somewhat bloodthirsty’ rat supremo to take on city’s rodents by morenewsat11

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."
