More rats

I emailed all the member of the city council as well as the mayor and the Kaohsiung Dept. of Health saying there were rats and where they were in the subject line. In the body of the message, I wrote the webpage address: http://kaohsiungpedestrian.blogspot.com/2006/06/blog-post_16.html

Apart from one automated response, zero response to the emails, and as far as I can tell, no one accessed the site.

Meanwhile, I've been seeing rats in front of the 獅甲 Elementary and Middle Schools, including one this morning. On 中山二路 there is a bicycle repair shop that consists of a huge pile of bicycle parts, and I saw one there, too.

Meanwhile, the use of rats in movies to frighten the audience is starting to lose its impact on me. I've seen several of those here. Before this year it was Willard, and Ghost Ship, and this year Ghost Ship again, Graveyard Shift, Daylight, and Penitentiary III (which, by the way, has to be seen to be believed, and not because of the rats). The impact of seeing rats on the Taiwanese audience is certainly different than it is for the American audience. Is that the problem with the city of Kaohsiung? They see so many rats and stray dogs, they think it's normal?

Update
The rats are still there as of this morning. By the way, their nest is next to the water company: 臺灣省自來水股份有限公司南區工程處
