Rat plague threatens grasslands in China's Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia
BEIJING, May 8 (Xinhua) -- A plague of rats is threatening more than 10 million hectares of grassland in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, local authorities said Saturday.

In Inner Mongolia, 5.82 million hectares of grazing land have been overwhelmed by the burrowing rodents, said Zhang Zhuoran from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regional Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.
This is their karma for treating cat as a delicacy.

what kind of rats still burrow? They just live in manmade condominiums. If they are so many why bother burrowing?

And why don't they just eat them?

Now that the Ch'in Empire is getting all First-Worldy, people probably want McBurgers and whatnot instead of the old home cookin' type stuff they used to eat back at the old collective farm...

a plague stops being a plague when it becomes a food resource
McRatty nuggets, anyone ?
