I always had it in my head that if I really wanted to cause some havoc in an area with rats I would begin feeding them daily as I can buy 50 lb bags of rat feed at my local farm supply. I'd do this daily and nobody would be able to stop me. After doing this for months, If not years there would be a very large population of rats dependant on my handouts for their survival and then id simply stop. This would drive the hoard of hungry rats into all the residential and business areas in search of food and this would wreak havoc.
>squirrels
Live in trees and burrows. Sometimes attics, but rarely.
>pigeons
Live in trees and roofs.
>stray cats
Live in alleys, bushes, and so forth.
>raccoons
Live under logs, in bushes, and under structures. Sometimes attics, but rarely.
>rats
Infest houses and spread disease directly to people.
in the park: doesn't spread disease
in the airport terminal: doesn't spread disease
cats in the alleyway: actively reduces spread of disease despite schizo theories
in the backyard: doesn't spread disease despite rabies scares
>>rats on the subway tracks: black plague lol
>stray cats in the alleyway: actively reduces spread of disease despite schizo theories.
Cats doing anything IS the schizo theory

dating back to ancient religions that were so schizophrenic they sacrificed kittens and ground up cat mummies to spread in fields as magic mouse warding powder.

rather the cats themselves are a persistent pest.
imagine if you introduced packs of feral dogs to control the deer.
the dogs would just reach equilibrium with the deer and then you'd have two problems.
it's the same with cats.
people just don't care because normies are so simpled minded it took hundreds of thousands of years for them to figure out how sickness works. if something passively spreads sickness instead of actively by a bite, especially if it's a sickness that only kills unborn children later so it's harder to correlate them in time, they aren't able to make the connection. they're too stupid.
Truth. Catschizo absolutely, totally, permanently btfo. Rats are not more harmful than cats. Did you know cats can spread plague just as well as rats can?
inb4 cat cultists seethe and start posting schizo shit
>the can't make the connection
Explain the advanced west eventually figuring out that cats were evil.
Don't reply to yourself on slow boards, it's too obvious here.
you weren’t supposed to point that out…
>squirrels in the park: cute :3 let's feed them!
No problem as they stay in park.
>pigeons in the airport terminal: cute :3 let's feed them!
Problem, because 1 pigeon might end up costing thousands of dollars.
Better feed them at railroad terminal or bus stop.
>stray cats in the alleyway: cute :3 let's feed them!
Disgusting. Hope falcon or hawk gets a dinner soon, without getting ran over.
>raccoons in the backyard: cute :3 let's feed them!
Cute, but I'd not feed and make sure trashcans are closed.
>rats on the subway tracks: DISGUSTING. KILL THEM NOW!!!!

Best pest control are raptors.
>because 1 pigeon might end up costing thousands of dollars.
well actually no, thats why they sometimes have falconers around, even geese frick off
Eh... If you feed pigeons, they have additional incentive to make a nest at the airport, which means higher chance of jet engine damage and accidental pigeon nuggets. Makes job of falcons at the airport harder.
>>>rats on the subway tracks: black plague lol
Spread by fleas which can also be carries by any of the other animals you mentionned
Fleas don't really work that well with feathers.
That naked tail and their association with uncleanliness doesn't do them any favor
i went to NYC once and was impressed by how little the squirrels give a frick. One let me get within a few inches of her before skittering away.
I mean yeah, they’re extreme disease vectors, not saying I myself would necessarily kill one but I can understand the disgust instinct
Kek same, I can only assume it’s because they’re more used to human interaction
No one likes raccoons digging through their trash, anon.
that's why I leave them food 🙂
