I enjoy seeing grassy tram tracks, but is there something even better we could grow between rails? (slrpnk.net)

Rats are intelligent and compassionate animals who do us the favor of consuming our unwanted food trash.

I’ve heard that as well; and claims that they are essential to keeping the sewer pipes clear. Not sure to what extent I would put stock into all that but they are certainly a pest. Disease, filth, destruction of homes.

My city ultimately considers them a pest considering there is a tax-funded public pest control office fighting rats year round. People can call them and they will come to the home and deploy rat control measures (usually poison) at no cost, just like a pro exterminator.
