Hindu religious leaders have opposed the drive to kill rats because :


Ganesha, the elephant god rides a mouse !!  :o

Killing the rats is useless because more are constantly born. What they have to do is find all of the holes and patch them up real good with steel wool. In my apartment I had the super do this for me and I haven't seen a mouse in over five years since he did it. Blocking their entry is the only thing that works.

Meanwhile the 2 Leg ones are alive and well and walking around !

So what? It could be 8 million holes. The fact remains, if they find all of them and patch them up there will be no more rats in the hospital.
