Australia Mice Plague 2021
Australia’s ‘cannibal mouse’ epidemic about to get worse – with snake plague
Plague of ‘cannibal mice’ blamed for fires, diseases across Australia
Millions of mice in the biggest plague in Australia for decades are starting to eat each other — and even burn down houses, according to reports.
“When they run out of food, when they run out of seeds to eat, they start cannibalizing, they start eating each other,” Xavier Martin, the vice president of the New South Wales Farmers’ Association, told ITV News.
“They’re pretty disgusting animals,” he said of the millions of rodents caught running rampant in stomach-churning videos.
The plague is worst in New South Wales, but has also spread to parts of Victoria and Queensland, wreaking havoc as they swarm schools, homes and hospitals and leave a pungent odour.
The hordes of cannibalistic, fire-starting mice that have taken over almost half of the country from Brisbane to Melbourne are continuing unabated – but the worst is yet to come as experts warn a plague of snakes is sure to follow. While the serpents will curb the mouse population run amok, they are a bigger danger to humans as over 100 species of snakes in Australia are venomous and deadly to humans
