Chicago Using Coyotes To Fight Rodents

Posted by samzenpus on from the get-the-chinese-needle-snakes-ready dept.

Brad Block, a supervisor for the Chicago Commission on Animal Care and Control says a coyote recently spotted downtown is part of a program designed to monitor the rodent population. "The animal has the run of the Loop to help deal with rats and mice," He said no one has called today to complain. “He’s not a threat. He’s not going to pick up your children,” Block said. “His job is to deal with all of the nuisance problems, like mice, rats and rabbits.”

  1. BAD BAD LEROY BROWN !! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Well the South side of Chicago
    Is the baddest part of town
    And if you go down there
    You better just beware
    Of a man named Leroy Brown

    Now Leroy more than trouble
    You see he stand 'bout six-foot-four
    All the downtown ladies call him Fuckin' Lover
    All the men just call him Sir

    And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
    The baddest man in the whole damn town
    Badder than old King Kong
    Meaner than a junkyard dog

    Now Leroy he a gambler
    And he like his fancy clothes
    And he like to wave his diamond rings
    in front of everybody's nose
    He got a custom Continental
    He got an Eldorado too
    He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
    He got a razor in his shoe

    And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
    The baddest man in the whole damn town
    Badder than old King Kong
    Meaner than a junkyard dog

    Well Friday bout a week ago
    Leroy shootin' dice
    And at the edge of the bar
    Sat a girl named Doris
    And ooh that girl looked nice
    Well he cast his eyes upon her
    And the trouble soon began
    Leroy Brown learned a lesson
    'Bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man

    And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
    The baddest man in the whole damned town
    Badder than old King Kong
    Meaner than a junkyard dog,

    Well the two men took to fightin'
    And when they pulled them from the floor
    Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
    With a couple of pieces gone

    And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
    The baddest man in the whole damn town
    Badder than old King Kong
    Meaner than a junkyard dog !!

    dah-da-da-dah !!
