Paris Deputy Mayor Champions Co-existence with City Rats
In Paris, there's a debate about rats!
One politician, Gregory Moreau, wants people to accept rats because he believes they help clean up the city.
He even has a pet rat!
However, another politician, Geoffroy Boulard, wants to control the rat population using traps.
The main disagreement is whether to live alongside the rats or try to get rid of them to improve public health.
Gregory Moreau, a Paris deputy mayor, advocates for co-existence with the city's rats.
Moreau argues that rats consume waste and prevent sewer clogs.
Geoffroy Boulard, another district mayor, opposes Moreau's views.
Boulard uses app-controlled traps to control the rat population.
The debate centers on whether to co-exist with rats or actively control them.
