Rats may be to blame for the abundance of chicken bones on the streets

An investigation into the prevalence of chicken bones on the streets reveals that rats may be the culprits. Laboratory testing of chicken bones found on the streets can potentially identify rat DNA, providing evidence for their involvement. Another experiment involves placing chicken wings on the sidewalk and using a GoPro to capture if rats are drawn to and consume the bones. The structural issue of trash disposal in New York City, with bags placed on the street instead of in containers, contributes to rats accessing and scattering chicken bones. Further research and observation will help determine the extent of rat involvement in this issue.
