Severity of Paris rat infestation captured in horrifying footage
"For a year, there has been a proliferation of rats in all the areas bordering the Seine," he told Le Parisien. The rats filmed in the bin have been incinerated.
The city employee says his colleagues have had rats jump up to their throats and arms, adding, that nobody has been bitten, yet. But, he said, “We do not want to wait until there is a tragedy.”
The garbage collectors are calling on the city to “take measures to eradicate the problem.” They say restaurants along the Seine are to blame. "The restaurants have about fifteen skips at their disposal, some still leave garbage bags outside," he said.
