Pediatrician's Trained Rats Steal Millions, Change the Law
New York Pediatrician's Trained Rats Lead to Legal Changes New York City - In a surprising turn of events, the story of Erika, a former pediatrician, and her highly intelligent, jewelry-thieving rats has led to legal reform. After losing her job, Erika began training rats to steal from jewelry stores. One rat, in a particularly audacious heist, stole a $22 million diamond in under two minutes. This audacious feat, however, resulted in a legal change. "It's unbelievable," said one of the podcast hosts, "but it's true." The incident prompted lawmakers to amend the law to include provisions against training animals for theft, highlighting the unexpected consequences of even the most unusual circumstances. The story of Erika and her rats serves as a reminder of the adaptability and intelligence of animals, and the unforeseen ways human actions can result in changes to the legal system.
