smart and effective and it is training some useful rodinaters
a 5yr old rat assassin is a bit chilling, but rats finding a small island's bird population tasty is pretty good provocation
old rat assassins can be "disturbing" as well
Quote:
40 students caught more than 600 rats over the 100-day challenge. One five-year-old managed to catch and kill 60 rats over the course of the three months.
the 5yr old slayer got ten percent of the catch, even if there was a bit of help/tuition it shows dedication and was effective, it is plausible they took to the job like a natural born killer
8/10 for conservation vermination so far, if they can rid and protect that would be 10/10 tea and medals

NYC is seeking a "rat tsar", unfortunately it is not open to international tenders
nor does it pay enough for a pied piper to feel properly rewarded for the magnitude of the task
$25 large as my fee and a "give this man any assistance he requires" chit
and i'll do it properly for manhatten island, like they say on bleach kill 99%(best not to make impossible claims)etc
long term rattus bio security is a different contract, as are mainland boroughs
A Pied Piper rather than a Tsar might be better. Does sound like a long term problem, and education of the public to keep NYC clean and tidy, as nothing a rat (or an urban fox) likes better than food thrown out where they can get it easily.
