No wonder we can't get rid of our politicians! There's a law in DC against killing rats - only relocating them!
Apparently there is a law - The Wildlife Protection Act of 2010 and it is against the law to kill rats.
According to Ken Cuccinelli, the attorney general of Virginia, said, "This law is 'crazier than fiction,' because it requires that rats and other vermin not be killed but captured, preferably in families; no glue or snap traps can be utilized; the rodents must be relocated from where they are captured; and some of these animals may need to be transferred to a 'wildlife rehabilitator' as part of their relocation process. The law does not allow pest control professionals 'to kill the dang rats,' Cuccinelli told CNSNews.com. 'They have to capture them -- then capture them in families.'" Now, how do you do that? Can I just ask, how in the world do you identify a rat family? No, seriously. But this is the law in the District of Columbia.
