Integrated Pest Management Fail: NYC thought that retaining a gang of possums to control a rat problem in Brooklyn would be an excellent plan.
Now the city has a rat problem and a possum problem. North America's only marsupial, run amok! Ol' possums aren't really know for their rat-hunting prowess. They are mostly known for playing dead, or being actually dead on the side of the road. What kind of city boys could have possibly thought that retaining a pack of chicken-stealing varmints to take on the rats would work?
(Bonus: Searching for the image to accompany this post also yielded
this classic Carly Simon album cover.
Ah, the 70's. Did anyone buy this for the music?)
