Can NYC survive without rats? No, seriously.

“Last week, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, no friend of large rodents, announced that a $3 million chunk of the city's annual budget will be used to track and eradicate the city’s signature vermin, which, by the way do not outnumber humans as popularly believed. While $3 million may seem like a lot of cash to dedicate to an anti-rat crusade, it’s a small price to pay to put an end to a nightmare that’s been going on for hundreds of years.”

“As reported by the Daily News, the city’s stable of rat-catching mercenaries will expand from nine to 50 and include a trio of dedicated ‘rat biologists.’”

Can a modern metropolis (or NYC, for that matter) continue as we (or someone) know(s) it, but be rat free?
