Biologists in Alaska have decided to rid Rat Island of it's rats. The rats are not native to the island, but arrived about 200 years ago in a shipwreck and have had a disastrous effect on local wildlife on the island, which mostly consists of sea-birds.
No word yet on how they'll get rid of the rodents, and so I leave it up to you, dear reader: How would you get 10,000 rats off a tiny, volcanic island?

But What Will They Call the Island?

My vote is for the release of every major city's stray cats on the island.
Obviously they just need to get a private investigator, find out where the pied piper is hanging out these days, and pay him a bunch of money to come drive the rats into the volcanoes.
Or, actually, I have a better idea. I just finished reading the book - The Plague, by Albert Camus - and all the rats were totally wiped out when the plague struck. Do people live on this island?
nukes, all the way.
then they can rename it "what island?"
