The aggressive fight against suspected causes of SARS in the southern city of Guangzhou has just begun. The government plans to kill all 10,000 civet cats in the area by Saturday, then move on to the next target: rats.

"Guangzhou's carpet extermination of rats," said a headline in the newspaper Information Daily, reporting on the coming three-day campaign. "The whole city united will go about killing rats, not leaving out one household."

Just a hunch, but I don't think this is going to prevent SARS from spreading.

Probably not. Humans just like killing animals they suspect of possibly spreading disease.

I think China has every reason to overreact, though, considering the height of fear the people there experienced last year.
