After mosquitos, the worst enemy of the human race is rodents. Both spread terrible diseases. In Chicago, America’s most rat-infested city, over a thousand feral cats have been released to keep them under control. Rodents are a rural menace as well:

The ongoing rodent infestation across eastern Australia is on track to cause up to $100 million worth of damage and has already worsened a mental health crisis in the regions.

Some farmers have lost as much as $300,000 each in ruined crops as the mice chew through anything they can get their teeth in.

Worsening a mental health crisis could cause a vicious cycle, because deranged moonbats have weighed in — on behalf of the rodents:

PETA is urging rural residents to consider the welfare of the mice and avoid killing them with poison, instead suggesting the mice be gently caught and released unharmed.

Even PETA activists could figure out that this solution is untenable. They don’t care. Since treason is their most fundamental instinct, leftists always side with the other. Here, they side with vermin against humans.

Mice can start reproducing at 6 weeks of age, and crank out 10 baby mice every 20 days. Their numbers quickly become unmanageable. They have been spreading potentially lethal leptospirosis in Australia.

“These bright, curious animals are just looking for food to survive,” PETA spokeswoman Aleesha Naxakis told NCA NewsWire.

Humans like food too. But applying the postmodern ideology that is the basis of all modern liberalism reveals that humans are oppressors and mice are oppressed. The oppressed are always right. Therefore, mice should get the crops farmers raise.

Squeaks Aleesha:

“They shouldn’t be robbed of that right because of the dangerous notion of human supremacy.”

Maybe she has a point about human supremacy. An Australian farmer would probably agree that one feral cat is worth any number of moonbats.
