New York City Council has implemented a contraceptive pilot program to control its rat population by using birth control laced in bait, shifting from lethal methods.
Named Flaco's Law, the program aims to reduce the rat population amidst growing concerns over sanitation and trash management issues, with estimates indicating a rise from two million to three million rats.
The irony of providing reproductive rights to rats while women's reproductive rights continue to be restricted has struck a chord with online commentators, highlighting a troubling societal issue.
Experts warn that the overturning of Roe vs. Wade could have negative implications on access to contraceptives, drawing parallels to the new measures for rodent control.
