Rats are a growing problem in the New York City subway stations.
This particular station in Union Square was last baited with rodenticide in July of 2001. I was 14.
Rats can reproduce by 2,000 percent in just two years. Don’t you think it’s time to re-bait the subways?
There have been reports of rat sightings in the NYC subway stations: in the gutters, on the tracks, in the subway cars, scurrying across benches. Pictures and videos have even been taken as proof.
A study found that 77 percent of rats in the northeast are infected with Hepatitis E, which can cause high fever, liver failure, even death. Not to mention, 100 percent of them carry fleas.
Fact - This year, 1500 New York City transit workers have been laid off because of budget cuts.
If employees are being let go because of funding problems, do you really think there's any money left over for the rat problem?
