They're lying. A big rat problem justifies a more powerful animal control bureaucracy with a bigger budget.

Yeah, well, they could pass an ordinance against it, but they are too busy banning plastic bags.

Priorities.

This is a big problem in San Francisco. They don't like the breeders there.

and I suppose this is also a bad thing.

There’s certainly enough garbage there for the rats to eat.

Lets hope the rats dont get confused about what they’re eating

I like rats, and keep them as pets, but this woman’s actions are very disturbing and irresponsible since rats, unchecked, quickly become pests that can spread disease and pose a danger to the public. I’m sure there’s a law on the books somewhere they can cite similar to California restrictions on ferrets, but mentally disturbed people seem to be the only animal on the lib’s endangered species list.
