Invasives

2 million brown snakes on Guam originating as stowaways on WWII ships from Australia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. They eat native birds and have no natural predators on the island... indeed, they have taken over. (Allegory for human weighing on the earth!)

The "solution" "About 2,000 mice filled with acetaminophen will be dropped in the newest test". As the DoD says "No one's ever attempted anything on this scale". So, hey, what could ever go wrong? (Allegory number 2: unintended consequences of poisons and how animals and toxins will create a line of flight from the intended teleological vectors).

Landmine Detecting Rats!

The Revolution knows how to burrow. From the organization APOPO come rats trained to find and dig mines. These HeroRats are trained to be sent into fields and detect and dig for mines. Other specialty rats sniff out tuberculosis. "APOPO’s mission is to train and disseminate sniffer rats to save human lives- by detecting landmines and disease."

My dear reader: rats + mines. Is this not the sign of a revolution. Once they nourish active rebellion, where can a human hide that a rat will not sniff out, burrow, bury. Think Willard (either the 1972 version or the 2007 version). And yes, think swarm as in Ben (1972).
My thanks to Jane Prophet for pointing out this moment of revolution.
