A New York City Police patrol car passes as Richard Reynolds, (left), founding member of the Ryders Alley Trencher-fed Society (R.A.T.S) looks on and his Bedlington Terrier, Catcher, stands on a pile of garbage bags during an organised rat hunt in New York City. The Ryders Alley Trencher-fed Society (R.A.T.S.) is a group of enthusiasts who take their dogs out to hunt rats in New York City. Members of the independent group venture out on night-time excursions to allow their dogs to do what they do best: hunt and kill vermin.
