Cash for rats: on the hunt with Jakarta’s rodent eradication movement
“Benvika, head of wildlife at the Jakarta Animal Aid Network, is not convinced by the project. He advocates a return to a more natural balance, with predators such as snakes and owls used to control rodent populations. ‘The sulphur gas is not immediately lethal and causes unnecessary suffering,’ he added. ‘The people of Jakarta must return to living healthily, and maintain their environment.'”
