Rats Have Rights! Only in DC folks.
« on: January 18, 2012, 01:50:08 AM »
This one defies understanding. Apparently, in our nation's capital, pest control guys need to live trap vermin (in family groups so as not to leave dependent young) and then relocate them. Oddly enough, bordering states object to being the relocation points. ::)
FQ13 who will leave you to draw your own analogies. ;)

I wonder what would happen if a heap of "animal control" people relocated a days worth of "rat families" to D.C. Councilwoman Mary M. Cheh's residence?


She sponsored the bill let her sponsor the rats!

Maybe we need Rat Prisons where we can lock them up, feed them free meals, give them exercise facilities, free medical care and conjugal visits.

Congressional offices? Just sayin'. ;D
FQ13 Who is all about the conjugal visits if that plan is adopted. After all, doesn't Congress oversee DC?

And we wonder why the nation is spiraling out of control..........


And could we get someone to send those rats a wool sock?

FQ, thanks for the laugh!!!!

A wildlife control services provider shall make every reasonable effort to preserve family units using humane eviction or displacement and reunion strategies

I wonder if the "Rat Daily News" gets updated frequently so those families can get reunited?
I feel so insensitive....I used to just shoot the freaking things.
You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles; but at least they drive slowly past schools.

You know, the point of all this was so we didn't leave any orphaned rats to fend for themselves.

Well, since the legislature assumes that it is possible to humanly trap them in family units, wouldn't it be much simpler to just make the requirement for the "wildlife control services provider" to just make every effort to exterminate them as a family unit?

And I'd guess that they are already trying to get as many of them as they can.
