Some years back the People's Republic of Takoma Park voted to ban inhumane rat poisoning. Since they still didn't want the rats, however, the city fathers decided to substitute humane trapping. This was whooped through the asylum before anyone asked what these geniuses thought they were going to do with the rats after they caught them.
The suggested solution was to drive the rats up the road to Frederick County and release them "in the country where they belong." Needless to say, cooler heads prevailed before Frederick declared war on Takoma Park.
