Mice, more mice and even more mice

Millions of mice wreak havoc across farms and businesses in Australia (usatoday.com)

Millions of mice are spreading across eastern Australia and terrorizing local farmers, homes and businesses. Some mice have been spotted chewing through crops while others have bitten hospital patients. 

Farmers are struggling under the arrival of the mice, with many stating they've spent thousands on bait to catch and kill the rodents that are damaging crops and stored grain, The Independent reported. For businesses, owners are experiencing damage to stock and electrical wires that have been chewed through by the tiny animals.  

Australia’s rodent plague led the government to grant an emergency permit to allow double-strength bait to be used to kill the mice, according to The Independent. Just this month, the government also introduced a $50 million mouse plague package which includes free bait for farmers.

PETA says that we should just relocate the mice.

Good idea, how about sending all of them to this address PETA Headquarters 501 Front St, Norfolk, VA‎ 23510

PETA, probably the leading dog killer organisation in the world, says...no, I can bother to care what those nutters say.

Japan and Japanese eat the meat of the mammals they are virtue-shamed for killing.

I expect nothing less of Australians.
