Hungry Rodents

Desperate rats, deprived of their usual food sources outside shuttered restaurants and other sources of snacks, have begun to invade nearby rodent colonies, eating the flesh of their own species.

While food supplies have pretty much remained the same for vermin living hear human households, rodentologist Bobby Corrigan told NBC News that those living near eateries, malls and airports have resorted to cannibalism, rat battles and infanticide to cope with their starvation diets.

The crazed rats are also threatening the homeless population, according to New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell.

A viral video posted in March showed areas in the French Quarter overrun by rats taking to the streets in search of food.
