Big error by the Virginia Attorney General Ken Cucinelli in talking about rats being subject to the DC Wildlife Protection Act. Mice and rats are not included in that act. http://animalblawg.wordpress.com/201...rotection-act/

I worked across the street from both Lafayette Park and McPherson Square for 35 years. Rats were very common sights in both parks during the daytime and I doubt if the Occupy DC movement has resulted in many more rats in the parks.

There were rats in the office buildings, too. More than once, I was sitting in a conference room when there was the snap of a rattrap in a distant corner and another rat was dead. Downright nasty critters.

Anyhow, the Virginia Attorney General seems to be another Republican who needs to get his story straight before telling it to the press.
