The island of Montecristo, off the coast of Tuscany is home to thousands of black rats. Now the director of the National Park Authority, Franco Zenichelli wants to drop 26 tons of poisoned pellets on the island at the end of January.



So-called biologists say that the rats pose a grave threat to the island, an archipelago nature reserve, but that pales into insignificance besides this monstrous mass poisoning plan. The islands and all life on them will not only be killed off by the poison but also by the decomposing bodies of the poisoned rats, Air land and sea will be poisoned.



Island threat isn't

the black rats, it's the evil

rats who poison them.



One rather large black

rat who poisoned Italy

was Berlusconi.
