I tend to think that people for whom use race as a dropping point are stupid jack-asses with a lot of time on there hands and not enough mental ability to use it ! Have a nice day Camille

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. So the rats are taking over the city now? Think it's a little to late for that. Might as well get accustomed to the sight because them nasty disease carriers are going nowhere!!!!! In the picture the dead rat has a butt in it's mouth. That's really smart, Play with the damn thing and risk catching something from it ! That's really smart, Whoever did that is really stupid! I understand the point you were trying to make just think about it next time!!!

I am from California and we certainly didn't have so many rats there. I think it is a big west coast phenomenon. Someone once told me that they came from the slave ships. I tend to believe it.

I love that rat. I had the pleasure of seeing it in person last year while walking on 13th St. I found the desuccated rat more disturbing than a rat with a fag in his mouth.

Have you guys actually read Rats? A cat will not kill a rat...rats will kill it. In the past, when cats (and even dogs) were sent in to kill rats, they only proved to be food for rats. Additionally, rats eat garbage, so as long as there are people in any given area, there will be rats. They live in every part of the world that humans inhabit. As for the 10 rats to every 1 person in NYC, it's false. Read the book; it's all there in all its gruesome detail.

If it weren't for rats we wouldn't have White Castle Yes, I'm aware that's an interchangable statement

Q: Why does NYC have a rat problem? A: BECAUSE PEOPLE (New Yorkers) ARE FUCKING SLOBS. They say for every person in NYC there are 10 rats... You cannot win against the rats!
