I heard on the news the other day that exterminaters in Washington DC are not allowed to kill rats. They must catch them alive and take them at least 25 miles away so they won't find there way back. I guess the Rat Politicians in DC have a soft place in their hearts for the vermen kind.
I live close to DC, dont go there as much as i used to but .... The rats there are HuGE!!!! I've seen some i thought were cats or other animals. It should be a crime to take these suckers OUT of D.C. to surrounding areas and letting them go (or do they then kill the rats?). I havent heard about this but im def gonna look it up, seems like PETA lobbying has paid off for all giant rat lovers
When you said "Washington DC rats," I assumed you were talking about the rats occupying the US Capitol Building and the Big King Rat occupying the White House.
