Others objected that if the bounty were raised, it would pay the city's poor to go into the business of rat-raising and Bombay would wind up with more rats than ever. Councillor Gordhandas Goculdas Moraji, an orthodox Hindu, shuddered at even considering rat extermination during the current festival in honor of Ganapati (Ganesha), an elephant-headed god who likes to ride around...
