Well...damn.
After posting my outrage over the fact that rats in DC couldn't be killed and had to be moved en masse to Virginia - and Rush spent a whole monologue on it...
After I post my outrage, I read the supporting material.
Which apparently Rush never read.

First, the law you're referring to -- the Wildlife Protection Act of 2010, sponsored by Councilmember Mary Cheh (D-Ward 3) -- explicitly exempts rats and mice from its provisions. So yes, while a family of raccoons might have to be relocated, rats are fair game for pest control experts. (And before you jump on us over the wisdom of the law, note that a Northern Virginia-based pest control expert testified on behalf of the bill. Just sayin'.)
We should round up all the varmints and drop them off in Mary's property.
