But there’s no practical way to enforce when people put out their trash.
I may have been in NYC for too long, but I honestly don’t even see how rats are a problem anyway. They generally just scavenge garbage and do their own thing. They’re in a similar category to pigeons.
Plus, they are presumably a critical food source for alley cats. I happened to stumble upon a newborn litter of alley kittens a few weeks ago. The mother must have been away hunting.
So you’re basically murdering these little kittens if you decimate the rat population in NYC by preventing them from eating our trash. You sick fucks./s
Those babies are still little enough, if they and mom are trapped, she can be TNR and they can be socialized and adopted!
Restaurants have a specific time they put out their bags, which is several hours before the trucks actually come around. I don’t remember the numbers but there was an article about it, probably in the NYT because I subscribe for the games despite living in LA.(We use cans and Dumpsters here. Still haven’t got the whole compost thing figured out, though.)
Anyway, see if there’s a TNR organization that can foster those sweet fluffballs!
