In Britain The largest rat in the country's history was caught (2 photos)

The animal was found in North Yorkshire. According to eyewitnesses, the rat was more like a small dog than a rodent.





A giant rat was found in a house in the Normanby area of northern England. Pest control specialists caught the rodent, which measured 22 inches (55.88 centimeters) from snout to tail. This is the largest rat ever found in Britain, The Telegraph reports. Local media suggest that the rat was probably a so-called "sewer" type and somehow got into the house. Residents of northern England are sure that this is not an isolated incident, as the rodent situation in the region is getting out of control.

The appearance of such a giant surprised and outraged the British, and politicians considered it an outrageous consequence of the Labour government, which does not allocate money from the budget to fight rodents. According to the Conservatives, local authorities have shifted responsibility for the invasion of rats in the cities to the local population. Residents of the city, according to the ruling Labor Party, are obliged to invest in the deratization of their homes themselves, and not wait for the city council to solve this problem for them.

"The longer we ignore this, the more serious the problem will become. It is no longer just an inconvenience - it is a potential health hazard," said David Taylor, a representative for the Aston district, who recalled that rats can carry diseases dangerous to humans.
