A plant that eats rats? Bring it to NY!!!

Know as Nepenthes attenboroughii this rare plant is capable of eating full size rats. According to Wikipedia (information you take with a grain of salt)…

The pitchers of N. attenboroughii are open to the elements and thus often completely filled with fluid. This fluid is viscous in the lower part of the pitcher and watery above, forming two fractions that do not mix.
In the latter half of 2009, this taxon received a great deal of publicity in the national press of various countries as a sensational new plant that catches and kills rats.Whilst certainly large enough to trap rodents, no rodents of any kind have yet been observed within the pitchers of this species, as indicated in the type description and through subsequent clarification by the author, who suggests that should rodents be captured by the plant, it is likely to be through misadventure rather than by design; instead, large bugs and flying insects appear to be the usual prey.

Well, here's one time, outta many, I’m going to disagree with Wikipedia. As the video below shows these things are capable of eating rats ‘cause rats are attracted to them. If this is the case than we may have found somewhat of a solution to controlling NYC’s rat population which estimates say as much as 96 Million.
Now, if these plants ate roaches?…hmmmm!!!
