[Community_garden] 3 methods of Organic Rat Control

[Mike McGrath]

I applaud your Buddhist attitude here, but I personally cannot condone the 
release of vermin who have plagued (literally) mankind for untold centuries. 
I do agree with the trap, but then a trip to the vet for a fast and 
professional...well, you know what.
    Because although you obviously respect all living creatures, I don't 
think you want to be responsible if that released rat bites a small 
child--or worse.
