Yalta for rats: Mayor Adams convenes first NYC 'Rat Summit' this fall
Mayor Eric Adams’ is summoning some of the nation’s leading experts and researchers together for a multiday event centered around a problem that has kept him awake at night since the day he took office: Rats.
“That doesn’t help anyone or anything," he said. “We really need to respect these animals and work with intention and kindness to address this issue. It doesn’t take a rat summit to come to the conclusion that the millions of pounds of trash left on New York streets all day is providing a constant food source for these animals.”
“When you know that two rats can produce 15,000 descendants, killing a hundred rats doesn’t make a difference, killing a thousand rats doesn’t make a difference,” Abreu said. “We have to address it at the source.”
