And once TB is no longer a problem, the rats go back to being rats and by then, have long passed out of the memories of all commenters. Just leave wild animals be in their own worlds. In our world, their utility will one day very soon become obsolete and then they'll just be tossed aside.
Please can you help me……. Living in a place where plenty spiritsm are practiced like voodoo ect. But we don't believe in such stories……. Yet we often get huge rats
When their heads are cut off to kill them, there is no blood. Only a watery substance. Please tell us what that can be? Tx
If they can smell tuberculosis virus then they deserve Nobel prize!!! How many people were working on this? Maybe is better to check first what is causing tuberculosis, then to use rats or whatever?
