Lots of rodents in Alberta. The neighbourhood cats keep the mice and hantavirus down. Aircraft are often infested with mice. We need more bullsnakes.

They aren't doing a good job of keeping them "down" if they're on planes.

Airports have tons of food (grass environment + human garbage), tons of mouse habitat (grassy areas, outbuildings, machinery), and not many cats.

It was a joke. If mice are in aircraft they are "up" (in the air), not "down".

Time to flip the Samuel Jackson quote upside down, we need more mf'in snakes on the mf'in plane!
