The City Council's recent approval of rat birth control, effective in 2025, aims to tackle New York City's exploding rodent population with humane methods.
'We've urged New York City to use nonlethal methods to control its rat population for years, and we're delighted that it's chosen rodent birth control,' a PETA spokesperson revealed.
The birth control pellets, containing triptolide, are expected to significantly diminish the city's rat numbers, having previously proven effective in other cities like Boston.
Historically, attempts at controlling NYC's rat population have included various methods, but many efforts prior have failed, underlining the enormity of the challenge.
