the rat hunt started in 1902 as the sewers in French part of city served as a protective breeding ground for the rats. So the local Vietnamese were given the duty of catching the rats and they were the bounty for this. the Vietnamese saw this an opportunity of earning even more bounty so they would just clip the tail of rat and release so that the process could be repeated. some began raising rats at their homes. By 1903,the number of rats increased so much that it resulted in the plague.
