Rodents,rats bring many diseases and their population way exceeds human population and they are also a safety hazard to kids, they bite and destroy everything ,iam against cruelty but in this case this is preventing a disease{bubonic plague?}and many others.If this is a way to extinguish them Iam for it

Use cats. They get a home at the schools. The rats are kept in check. What's the big deal?

humans r getting out of control. they r loosing touch with nature! Enough! this is CRUEL! there is civilsed ways in controling the population & they r only disease infested because of the environment they r in not if they were in the country.Farmers in India eat them to control there population. not recommending that for NY though. there r better ways to deal with this issue.
