You better not eat out or get groceries from the market or heck canned goods are notorius for having critters run amuck on the can tops in the warehouses. OH! and soft drink cans.....they run on those too. The horror!
You are a very fast reader since you answered so soon after I posted your own private link.

Have you been in lots of warehouses where canned goods are stored in the cardboard cases they were sealed up in just after being canned? I opened a lot of them to stock shelves in a little store where we didn't have rat droppings and never found and rat turds on them.

Maybe you need to just accept the fact that the inspector in DC is saying that he doesn't want to close them down but the normal rats in DC are drawn to the area where all that food is stored outside. Go ahead and read the link so you can what you are trying so hard to discredit. Here is your link again.

Do you think that no one could have possibly read the link before you posted it?

Maybe you need to accept the fact there are rats everywhere, they go where there is sustinance and OWS aren't the filth you try so hard to prove.

But the way Conservatives talk, the Occupy movement is over! How can this be? It must mean that Conservatives were and are lying!

It is the fleas a rat carries that caused the plague...the playground nursery rhyme

Ring around the rosie
A pocket full of posie
Ashes ashes we all fall down...

One of the variants thru time that has changed probably the most modern version.

I'm more worried about rats in restaurant, because they have been caught on camera in the middle of the night before.

The people at the camps look like the same people who were at the famous Woodstock Celebration in 1969. What do you expect!

That's called hypocrisy.

Perhaps the city isn't picking the trash up often enough.

It's not the canned goods warehouses where rats will congregate; it's at the processing plants and every one of them has them, whether you see them or not.

Don't think so? Go in one and look for the bait traps and stuffed owls mounted up in the rafters. You won't have any trouble finding them.

Rats are common, not just in Occupy camps. They're everywhere, but you don't see them unless you're looking as they're mostly nocturnal. And, you don't have to camp very long, even in the most remote wilderness, until they find you.

By the way, the biggest rats I ever saw in this country were milling around in the raw materials store room at a bakery on Desire St. in New Orleans.
