Britain's current rat population is over one hundred million and rising. This is because many of the weaker rat species are dying off and a new breed of mutant super rats are dominating the gene pool. These super rats are thriving off of weak rodenticides.
They are not only immune to rodenticides, they are growing larger from consuming them.
The BPCA recommends that the super rats be killed using stronger rodenticides, however this only is adding to the problem. Super rats exist because they are rats that have been mutated by weak rodenticides and become larger and immune to them. In the same way that our current species of super rat mutated from weak rodenticides, a possible stronger species of super rat could mutate from stronger rodenticides.
The goal of this petition is to stop the BPCA from using stronger rodenticides in an attempt to kill off the growing super rat population.
