Akhter said in an interview Monday that city health inspectors have seen rats running openly through both camps and spotted numerous new burrows and nests underneath hay-stuffed pallets occupiers are using for beds. Both campsites had working kitchens for weeks until last week, but protesters at McPherson Square voluntarily closed down theirs after health inspectors pointed out unsanitary conditions during an informal monitoring visit.
Akhter, who is originally from Pakistan and has worked for the District government for over 20 years, said that the situation in the two parks is reminiscent of refu*gee camps he has toured overseas in the Middle East and Africa during his public health career. He said he fears disaster could strike during a severe winter storm.
“Going down to these camps, it’s no different than refu*gee camps,” Akhter said. “People are living in very primitive conditions and they’re doing it by choice. They are very brave and thoughtful people, but my concern is that they should also take care of themselves. When the weather goes bad suddenly we’re watching a tragedy unfold in the middle of Washington, D.C. ”
Your link does not work but none the less, it is not surprising... they are outside...rats are also in restaurants better BOLO for bubonic plaque traces in the food oh yeah and the farms the food comes from, there are rats there as well.
And I am certain grocery stores have a few critters too. LOL!!!

Try this link in case you think that celebration is in order because the original wasn't workable. Just think, your own personal link.
If you read the link I just supplied for this story you will be able to see why it has happened although only fools would have thought it wouldn't happen.
Like I said, just like restaurants, groceries, convience stores, farms, farmers markets.....they all have this problem.
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!
