Since when are "vermin" attracted to pee and feces? They, (rats) are not attracted to those things... they want to eat fried food just like we do! It's ridiculous to say that pee and feces attract "vermin" among everything else she wrote-- but it made me feel for the "vermin" who are misunderstood! As I recently heard an interview on NPR's Fresh Air with author of "Rats".
See new book "Rats: Quintessential New Yorkers" by Richard I forget his last name. It's a new release and doing well.
