I lived in NYC in 1977-78. If only I had stayed, I would finally have found a calling. Nah, I’m too much of a softie.

Someone’s gonna get pissed off because they’re being killed instead of being taken to a farm upstate where they can run and play.

Not a chance in Hell of that. I do want to see how it works out when some enlightened soul, er, flake, gives it a try. There’s a place in India called Karni Mata where they have a temple devoted to rats. It’s disgusting and filthy, as you may imagine and the ones who venerate rats go there to feed them, but never to clean the place up. I’ll just keep living in the darkness, I guess.

NYC already has a “rat Czar”, he just goes by the title “Mayor of New York”.

The thing is, at $170k is like $35k in the rest of the country. With high cost of living in NY, the Rat Czar will quit within a year or be living with the rats. Any by rats do they mean actual rodents or politicians? 🤣

If they mean politicians there are going to be a lot of resumes to sort through…

My money’s on the rats. Does His Lordship know the occupation is open. Just think of the bragging rights he’d have among all the other cats who now have to refer to him as “His Lordship Rat Czar”

His Lordship likes to catch mice, but only to play with. He rarely kills them, and that’s probably a job requirement.

No one will ever defeat the rats in New York City. That salary is a waste of taxpayer money.
I live in Alberta, where many years before my time the government ran some kind of program to kill of chase all the rats out of Alberta. They say they succeeded but that is just a lie. The border signs, NO RATS ALLOWED, just isn’t working. But then, our Conservative politicians are worse rats than any four-footed rodents can ever be. If we could run tem out of the province we might be able to live better lives.

Yeah… I was there un the 90s and saw what looked like opposum but was told were rats just off the Broadway district.
I thought NY was disgusting when I arrived but 4 or 5 days later I got the hang of it and could see the appeal. That was back when Times Sqr was still cars, porn, and hookers.
