CITY OF PARIS TO GIVE UP, JUST LIVE WITH THE DAMN RATS

The mayor of Paris, France is now ready to concede the fight to exterminate the city’s rats and is working on a plan to just coexist with them. Mayor Anne Hidalgo has decided to form a committee on the question of cohabitation. According to a new report, the panel will be tasked with coming up with a way of dealing with the rats that would be “effective” and “not unbearable” for Parisians. The city last had a plan in 2017 to handle the overwhelming rat population by installing airtight trash bins throughout the city and spreading around a lot of rat poison. According to the French National Medicine Academy, there are between 1.5 to 1.75 rats per person in Paris, a city of 2.1 million people.

* Please, Mayor Hidalgo, tell me more about your fair city to entice me to visit!
* The director of the Paris Tourism Board just swallowed a handful of rat poison and crawled into one of those airtight containers.
* The answer’s simple: Give out postage-paid cartons and have every Parisian mail two rats to London.
* How do you coexist with rats? Will every outdoor cafe table will have a little rat chair so you can share your food?
