As residents of the fantastic village of Hameln, New York announced on Wednesday the appointment of a “queen” for the extermination of rodents.

Residents of the fantasy village of Amlen hired a rat catcher to rid them of a plague of rats that stank in the city, an example that New York City seems to be following by appointing a “queen” to deal with rodents that have been taken over by the Big Apple.

“New York has done a lot to combat its number one enemy: rats. But in order to completely get rid of rodents, we needed the first rat queen in the city, ”said Mayor Eric Adams at the presentation of the project. Cathy Corradi, who has been tasked with the difficult task of reducing the population from today. from these mammals.

Adams, who has declared war on these animals since he took office in 2022, assured in a tweet that the rats will “HATE” Corradi, for their knowledge, determination and experience.

Corradi, whose official position will be the city’s director of rodent control, worked as a rat control expert for the city’s education department.

In December last year, the mayor’s office convened a position “king” against rats with an advertisement for a professional with “killer instinct” and “bloodlust” to “fight the real” enemy of New York.

“Rats are not our friends (…). Cunning, voracious and prolific New York rats are renowned for their survival skills, but they don’t rule this city, we do.”

At a press conference this Wednesday, Corradi assured in a casual tone that although she does not consider herself “bloodthirsty”, she presented her most animated candidacy for the position: “the rat queen.”

In his speech, he assured that he began his fight against rats when he was 10 years old, collecting signatures “for petitions for measures” against rats in his area.

“Rat protection is more than a matter of quality of life. Rats are a symptom of systemic problems including sanitation, health care, housing, and economic justice.Corradi said despite the humorous tone of the presentation.

Likewise, getting down to business, he announced that comprehensive solutions, strong leadership and a population committed to public efforts are needed.

“I will offer a science-based approach and a focused perspective, especially with regards to avoiding food, water and and the shelter they need to survive, and I will make sure that all New Yorkers are ready to take on that role in this fight.”

As part of this battle, on April 1, the city changed the schedules for taking out the garbage to the street and collecting the remains, so that garbage bags remain piled on the sidewalks for less than an hour.
