That's a burrito in the photo...but you get the idea, don't you?Newfoundland Canada has a problem. A rats problem. A big rats problem. Like rats as big as a two-liter bottle of soda problem. Hold onto your stomach and read on:
Rats as big as a 2-liter soda bottle, attracted by garbage, have the Canadian residents of a Newfoundland island community saying enough is enough.Yikes!!! I don't know what I'd do if I found a rat in my house that size. Probably put the house up for sale and move immediately! Good grief!
About 20 people from Stag Harbour on Fogo Island manned a picket line Monday, stopping anyone from dropping off more garbage at an open dump, the Canadian Broadcast Corp. reported.
The CBC reported the protesters had stories about the rodents scurrying around their backyards and basements, and digging through garbage.
"There was a rodent in the trap in the basement the size of a 2-liter Coke bottle," town resident Stephanie Miller had told CBC News last week.
(Yes, the tourist parts of the island appear to be largely unaffected - but beware!)
