Rats have reportedly caused a riot in Birmingham, forcing the British government to call the army, as trash was seen piling up in the United Kingdom's second-largest city. It is reported that the trash has piled up in the city due to a strike called by garbage collectors. The Labour-run council has declared a "major incident" over estimated 17,000 tons of trash littering Birmingham. It is also reported that the mountains of waste have turned the UK's second largest city into a breeding ground for rats who are said to be as big as cats. Some reports also claimed that "rats as big as cats" were seen on the streets of Birmingham as the garbage collectors' strike continued in the city. Pictures and videos showing the trash piling up in Birmingham and rats causing a riot have also surfaced online. UK Shocker: Toddler Suspended From Nursery School for Alleged Transphobia in United Kingdom, Says Report.
