The bill, dubbed 'Flaco's Law,' aims to mitigate New York City's rat population by using a contraceptive called ContraPest, preventing harm to other animals.
Council member Shaun Abreu emphasized, 'We can't poison our way out of this, we cannot kill our way out of this,' highlighting the need for humane solutions.
The city plans a pilot program for 12 months to track the consumption of rat contraceptives, indicating a structured approach to the ongoing infestation.
With previous contraceptive efforts failing, this bill represents a new strategy in the city's long-standing battle against rat overpopulation.
