Did he say he was a cook at a struggling former 5 star restaurant? - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioguy Posted September 1, 2008 Share #32 Posted September 1, 2008 I see them on (underground) tracks almost 2 out of 3 times I ride. As a former owner of 2 domesticated rats (ones that are safe to have as pets) i gotta say i dont find them that horrible. I've seen mice down there too in the track area and 2 of them were in nyp in the amtrak/njt waiting area. If one looks nasty & gets too close i will nudge it into the track pit, however i do have a great fondness for all living things, so it would be lovingly gentle as to not cause it harm and keep it from sickos who'd kill it on site (yes i've seen people do it). I do think at the same time the rat problem we started with our trade ships needs to be fixed before the next plague decides to pop its ugly head out. - Andy I saw one on the West 4th St northbound platform a few weeks ago. What was funny was that many saw him and didn't bat an eye. I wouldn't nudge it though. If you are able to do that, then it's likely too sick to want to be near. (Although I hear rabies is quite rare in rodentia) Like most, I would prefer they not be there, but it's almost just as much out of pity for them as any fear. Unlike people, they are always homeless, and despite their environment, do attempt to clean themselves quite often. They aren't squatting in my place so I just smile and hope they see the train coming. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kexpress Posted September 3, 2008 Share #33 Posted September 3, 2008 Someone here at LACMTA estimated it would take shutting down the entire NYC subways and cleaning 24 hours a day for almost 20 years to get rid of the brake dust and rats. Is that ture? Will they do that on the Staten Island Railway also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
