Reminder that 'rats have become violent', the cause is reduction of garbage due to the influence of the new coronavirus

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has called for caution as mice exhibiting unusual or aggressive behavior have emerged. It is thought that the cause is that the amount of garbage that was used as food for the rats decreased as a result of the commercial facilities ceasing operations to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection.

Rats living in harmony with people live on the leftovers of restaurants and commercial establishments as their main food. However, in 2020, there was a global epidemic of the new coronavirus, and as a result of measures such as refraining from going out and suspending store operations, rat food was reduced. The behavior of mice has become more active in search of new food, and some of them have unusual or aggressive behavior.

CBS reports that he saw an unprecedented sight of 30 mice hanging out on a street corner in New Orleans, Louisiana. In order to reduce the number of mice, New Orleans city staff are taking measures such as baiting gutters and setting traps in the French Quarter area.

NBC has also reported the occurrence of cannibalism and child feeding among rats in New York. In Baltimore, there were about 11,000 police reports about mice in a month.

Mr. Bobby Corrigan, who is familiar with rodents such as mice, says that mice follow the molecules of food like missiles seeking heat, and eventually reach the point of origin, like a weapon. I asked him not to panic because it wouldn't be like the 'rat invasion' depicted in the movie.
