animal of Legend it's described in famous novels and in Wylie read poetry in Victorian England rats were everywhere in the culture they were a constant threat lurking in the shadows but they were also carried around by rich people in cages like some kind of Trophy and forced to fight to the death in the cities under it was a strange existence
one constant Terror and terrorizing change comfort and intense fear unless you can imagine there were also some very weird human being involved in the creation of this reality for rabbits perhaps the most notorious or famous depending on who you ask was a man with a very catchy name Jack Black he enjoys the reputation of being my playlist handles rights of any man living playing with the rugged florid complexion bushy black hair bushy eyebrows in New York City and I wrote to Subways quite frequently and anyone who knows New York knows that just as humans love the subway systems so I have been fascinated by rat since I was that young adulthood when he was in
grad school studying British literature Gerard stumbled across a book by a journalist named Henry Mayhew called London labor in the London tour queso dip into the cage of breath and take out as many as he could hold the FIFA generally caused them to escape from the crowd and dozens of other writers and authors I was really the first work of qualitative sociology at least in the English language and also my first encounter with Jack Black just left Bliss during a time of change the industrial revolution had transformed England new factories were popping up and millions of people were crowding into the city to work at them hoping for a better life with a city of extreme nightmarish poverty existed shockingly close to outlandish wealth Starving Children begging at the feet of finely dressed Aristocrats High Society snobbery built on the backs of exploited workers and windows workers arrived in London there was an animal there waiting for them Norwegian brown rat room rent around in London sometime in the 1700's and it quickly overtook the rats that were already there alarming from EDD they come from underground they live in sewers go from the light into the darkness they cross thresholds between worlds and creatures like that at the same time the rest arrive in London a dirty chaotic city that was falling apart under the pressure of its growing population really no barrier between
London's sewers and the River Thames and so you had an enormous Cesspool and he's wrapped up and aggressive came into close contact with people they fit they attacked food stores they made life hell and people are willing to pay a few days hard-earned wages to get rid of it so check black was responding to Market forces the first time I ever saw mr. Blackwell in the Streets of London the corner of Hart Street but he was exhibiting the rapid effective is rat poison by placing some of it in the mouth of a living animal the flag was part of a new and rapidly growing industry blacksmith their shoe makers and establish trade but she was a self-made man that you might be asking who did red catchers work well in Jack Black's case he show up to the house that needed
his Services wearing his uniform a gentleman's coat top hat and a huge leather belt bedazzled with cast iron rods and the first thing he would do it wasn't to lay traps or poison but to roll up his sleeves and she was able to cover his hands with lure special date that rats couldn't resist that he used to catch the rebs live and by hand and stuff from one of the time into a bagger into a cave and a Showman all the time and sometimes those bites made him sick but he wasn't catching rats with his bare hands just because of
Showmanship her bravado he had to catch rats alive it was a big part of his business model dry them off and then sell them as country rent or for purposes of thread faded and Country rats who lives very different lives like what the tavern basement where rats would fight to the death events at on benches surrounding rest on all four sides Del Ray rats would be released Atlanta talk with people and the dog would have a certain amount of time kill as many reps as possible link to the Victorian Ballroom we're rats were pampered and gilded cages they were ornate fence here at pets in sweeping changes and they could be trained to do tricks rats are exceedingly smart and they're actually very affectionate breathing became quite popular in Victorian England and has evolved over time into an international competitive I want a sport but an activity
all those routes the fancy ones in this crappy ones were supplied by Jack Black and other rat-catchers it was a whole industry and Jack Black Head competition so we had to learn how to sell his services like today is entrepreneur has he was his own brand he rode around London in a cart handing out his advertising pamphlets that read quote rat and mole Destroyer to her majesty yeah that's right he claimed to be Queen Victoria's personal rat catcher because no matter who you were rats were a problem I didn't look what are the things that makes Jack Black such a memorable kicker is that he monetize
Vermin in a city that was overrun with them in the process he blurted the boundary between friend and foe danger and comfort so there's a very thin line separating the sewer rat from the pet rat they will always be with us and they are creatures that are at the same time compelling and horrifying I think that's why they're so fascinating are fascinating the red short but also was ratcatchers they helped Rebrand an animal that for centuries was thought of as little more than Vermin synonymous with disease into something more positive a livelihood a pet a status and belief in a sophisticated creature that maybe has more of a place in our lives than we'd ever imagined.
