Not This Rat's Year ( but I'll remember it )

Whilst filming a taxi driver demo I saw this rat lying on the grass of  TH Platz ..Certainly not a road accident .Nor were there signs of attack .Old age ( teeth point to age )  No birds were interested in it .At least It had died in the Year of the Rat !. Have been doing my research and as we know the recent virus started in a market with meat / wet fish / and slaughter all in same place ... Do not think western style .cleanliness. In these markets they buy rat , cat ,  dog meat &  consider such a delicacy ..China  tried to ban such for the Asian Games ..'Keep  dirt under the carpet' . Seemingly you cant keep the Chinese from all and I do mean all forms of meat ....Not much of a Vegan Paradise ....
