User ID: 77292836 United States 05/13/2021 09:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So, the plan is to have the cats kill a bunch of rats, and then to have 1000s of rotting rat carcasses around the city thus providing even more food to the rats, which will breed even more? That is the stupidest idea ever. Maybe next, they will bring in 100 pit bulls to kill the cats. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20371885 Shame they haven't heard about Rinne and his flip and slide traps. He devised a flip top to attach to the top of a 5 gallon bucket. You put food above the flip top and the mice or rats climb a ramp to the food, hit the flip top which uses their weight and gravity to drop them into the bucket. They could catch them alive and then use the meat in the prisons; wouldn't be any worse. Beware of Chinese imitations of the product. i made one of these it worked. i wonder how rats taste. anyone tried one. i could have tried squirrel once but didnt If you've eaten at restraunts you've probably already tried it.

Typical example of "experts" not knowing anything Omg. Bin- fuckin - go !!!!!!!! Yes yes and yes Idiots total idiots not thinking it thru all the way Bullshit. This worked great at Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia. You want cats or rats? no it failed. but way to not follow up. """""So rats are at the top of the food chain. Some stadiums have allowed cats to remain in stadiums but they don't have any significant impact to the rodent populations within them. Rats infest most commercial structures and stadiums during their construction due to construction workers tossing food scraps. In most commercial buildings, pest control professionals can eliminate rodents. Stadiums however, provide the perfect environment for rodents to not only survive, but to breed and become super colonies. """"" [link to www.facebook.com (secure)] |

But since rats are mostly nocturnal and Mongooses are diurnal, Hawaii only doubled their rodent problems. Since Chicongo's most dangerous rodents are also primarily nocturnal predators, they should instead release big cats, like Black Panthers and Leopards that will eat small rodents for snacks and Big Black Rats at mealtime.

Then continue to put food and water in that same location for the lifetime of the cat. This would actually be a good plan. Feeding my feral cats is much better than buying lots of rat poison. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80303614 Canada 05/13/2021 10:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Every city and town that's done the virtue-signalling catch/spay/neuter/release program has ended up with a rat and mice problem. I tried to inform the people in my city (a harbour town) about this consequence before they instituted the program several years ago, but it fell on deaf ears. Now we have rats and mice everywhere, including taking up residence in houses and apartment/condo buildings, hospital and university buildings, and hotel and office buildings. Spayed and neutered cats have zero interest in chasing rats and mice. Spaying and neutering reduces their hormone level to nearly zero (to the level of a kitten), taking with it the kill instinct. They play with their prey rather than kill it. Losing their kill instincts and relying on hand-outs for food (like kittens do) also makes them vulnerable to predators. A thousand feral cats (if they're genuinely feral, not spayed and neutered) won't put much of a dent in Chicago's rat problem. Nearly every time humans intervene with their virtue-signalling, short-sighted "solutions", they make things worse on all counts, but I can guarantee you that someone somewhere made money from it. Very few government policies are based on wisdom. Nearly all are profit-driven for the benefit of government insiders and their lobbyists. I know there's a general hate-on for Chicago on this forum, but I traveled through there several times by train on my way to somewhere else, and I was always treated well. Once I got lost trying to navigate the local train lines, and a woman very kindly took hold of my heavy luggage, guided me to the street, and hailed me a taxi. I tried to pay her for her service, but she refused to take the money. The taxi driver was an immigrant from Africa. He was listening to a Christian sermon on the car radio. These were the kind of people I encountered in Chicago. I think there is still some good in that town. I think there are still some Godly people everywhere, just not many. We need to be grateful for the few there are. I wish the released cats the best of luck! |
