When I lived in Park slope (more years ago than I'd like to admit) there was a whole trap, neuter and release colony of cats roving the area. I never saw a rat and I lived next to a McDonald's (ok the other side of the street was gowanus)

Vance is my age. When I was a young Republican the worst thing we did or said was support a stupid war... And maybe gripe about tax brackets.
