Animal experts in Amsterdam argue that the rodents play a crucial role in urban ecosystems

Amsterdam is thinking about a new way to handle its rat problem. Some experts from the city's university say that people should try to live with the rats, just like they do with bats and pigeons.

Rats aren't as dirty as some people think. Even though they might live in dirty places, Maite says rats are actually quite clean. They spend lots of time cleaning themselves and other rats, reports the Express. When it comes to getting sick from rats, Ms Van Gerwen says it's not very common. You would have to touch their faeces to get really sick.
