LITTLE CAT KILLED7 BY PACK OF RATS
Horror on streets infested with vermin
A PEST control worker has told how a pack of rats dragged a cat into a ditch and devoured it.
Rentokil surveyor John Magee said the horrifying incident took place at a site in Dublin that had been infested with the filthy rodents.
He told Newstalk’s Henry
Mckean: “The poor cat was just walking by there and I knew there was a population of rats on site.
“I was doing a survey to get ready to put control over the situation and I noticed the amount of rats was so vast, they had taken a small kitten basically and dragged it into the ditch and that was the end of the cat.” Dublin City Council has acknowledged there has been an increase in rodent numbers across the city.
But councillor Mannix Flynn said he believed the local authority must shoulder some of the blame. Speaking to Mr Mckean on the Pat Kenny Show, he added: “Because you’ve had a downturn in the economy, I believe the local authorities and the health authorities took their eye off the ball here.
“We have a serious problem here in terms of public health, in terms of how we manage the public domain, so the best way of doing this is to catch actually catch these rats and do away with them in a humane manner.”
Audrey Plunkett, a resident of O’carroll Villas on Cuffe Street for the past 50 years, told Mr Mckean she believed the community needed to rally together to tackle the problem.
She said: “If all the people, even in the
TIME travelling George Clooney stars in a Game of Thrones style television advert called The Quest.
The acclaimed actor appears in the new global campaign for Nespresso
alongside Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer.
The advert, to be shown on our screens from Tuesday night, sees an armour-clad Clooney leaving a flats here, got together, got big cages and put them out at night-time, and checked them the next morning, we’d probably get rid of the best part of them ourselves.”
Courtney Kelly told how the vermin are biting through the doors of the flats at Pearse House on Pearse Street
She said: “They were in a girl’s flat and they chewed right through her fridge.”
Ms Kelly added she felt the council’s response to the problem had been inadequate with open bins in the complexes not being emptied in a timely manner.
She told Mr Mckean: “They don’t care about the flats. If they could do a better job at it then it would actually be much appreciated by the residents.” medieval kingdom to go on a quest to uncover the world’s most exceptional coffee, which of course he finds at one of their stores in New York City.
Wonder if he orders a flat knight...
