A resident of the Villeray district of Montreal was attacked by a rat last Thursday evening.

Marcel Gagné, 40, was walking toward the Castelnau métro station at the corner of Castelnau Street and Saint Laurent Boulevard. While walking next to a wall of an abandoned building, he felt a small animal climbing along his left leg which then firmly grabbed on to his thigh.

Gagné didn't want to remove it with his hand for fear of being bitten. He finally pulled strongly on the animal's tail which made it loosen its grip.

Exterminators say there are, on average, two or three rats per person in a large city which means there are between 4 to 6 million rats in Montreal.

But computer mogul Bill Gates is only the most recent of Godin's pie-targets. The Belgian anarchist/performace artist has been creaming deserving politicos, captains of industry and celebs since 1969. Such is his status in Europe that Godin is right up there with the Muscles From Brussels, high-kicking Jean-Claude van Damme, as the greatest cultural treasure to emerge from Belgium. OK, it's a small country.

London — Britain is facing a sharp rise in its rat population as growing numbers of people leave fast food scraps in the street, an environmental group warned on Thursday.

Keep Britain Tidy said the rodents were abandoning their traditional haunts underground and were roaming the streets, enticed by discarded remnants of burgers, pizzas and potato chips.

"The rat population is on the rise and soon it'll be as common to see a rodent on our street as it is to see a dog or a cat," said group director, Sue Nelson.

The practice of dumping fast food litter and scraps on the street rather than putting them in the garbage — with young men believed to be the worst offenders — was behind the rise.

According to the National Rodent Survey in 2001, Britain's rat population has grown by nearly one-quarter since 1998 and is now estimated at 60 million, two million more than the human population.

The average a rat can give birth every 24-28 days, and just a single pair of rats can produce a colony of 2,000 a year. Around 200 Britons a year contract Weil's Disease — an infection which can lead to kidney or liver failure and eventually death and which is carried in rat's urine.
