I wonder if there are rat hunting packs here in Boston. This seems to be a great workout for Rat Terriers and other hunting breeds and seems to be becoming a thing in other cities. The dogs also seem to have a good time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL0x5oBFC1w

This seems like a good solution and keeps the dogs happy. I wonder if the owners are concerned about the dogs eating a rat with rat poison?

I remember hearing Chicago since like 2012 has been releasing cats into the city to fight rat populations like a Simpson gag

Didn't they try that with Australia and it ended up being a chain reaction of "let's release the next animal to control the problem, turns out the last one was invasive!"
