Darn Varmints!



The other day the Alberta Rat Patrol actually used shotguns to take out a colony of Norwegian Rats that had moved across the Saskatchewan border into Alberta near Alsask.

In today's Edmonton Journal, the results of an on-line poll were published. The question posed was: "Alberta has exterminated an infestation of Norway rats that came from Saskatchewan. Which possible Saskatchewan invader should we fear the most?"

4% of respondents identified gophers, 14% identified grasshoppers, 34% chose rats, and a full 48% identified Rider fans!
