ON THE FLIP SIDE - WANTED: CAT ARMY
"A Mexican town is advertising for an army of cats to kill off a plague of rats." (Ananova)
Atascaderos authorities have put ads in a Mexican paper asking people to donate their cats. Their goal is to give 700 cats to local families to kill 500,000 rats. The mayor's office claims they have tried poison, but they only succeeded in decimating the local cat population.
Emilia de Leon, of Mexico's Animal Protection Society, told Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper that she is concerned about building a cat army, citing feline population concerns.
"Remeber to spay and neuter your pet."
