[UK] Ghost ship full of cannibal rats could be about to crash into Cornwall

So... just sink the ship. Seriously. You think humanity learned its lesson the first time with rats and disease... lets not chance it again. shoot a torpedo at it and let the rats drown.
Reminds me of [url=http://www.mrpaap.com/docs/Three_Skeleton_%20Key.pdf] Three Skeleton Key. [/url] I remember reading it for a low level English class several years ago, and thought of it instantly when I saw the title. Basically a ship of rats crashes onto a lighthouse and they all attack the men stationed there, who either die or go insane. Has a nice atmosphere to it, though.
[QUOTE=Keelwar;43649564]I dont know much about boats, why would they cut it loose?[/QUOTE]
Any number of reasons. The sea is a dangerous place, and it doesn't pay to take chances with it, even in mild weather.

Rats can swim. Even if most of them drown, the survivors will just find a way to land. Since they're cannibals, why not get a bunch of rats, stuff them with drugs/poison, and dump those rats onto the boat? That way, the cannibals die while gorging themselves.

Well, I mean then you would have a boat full of thousands of dead poisoned rat corpses AND diseased cannibal rats. Which seems like a very Dexter's Lab solution to the whole thing, I'm in.

Then incinerate the remains, compress the ashes into a brick, and finally shoot it into the sun :v:
You know, if it runs aground and the rats cause an outbreak of some kind, I think the Canadian authorities who let it loose should be held accountable for just going "not our problem lol" and cutting it adrift instead of sinking it.
And before you cite the sea being dangerous, there was [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryou-Un_Maru]another ship similar, which was cut loose during the Japanese Tsunami. the US Coast Guard took the reasonable decision to hole the fucker with a 25mm autocannon instead of letting it do whatever the fuck it liked.[/url]
Also, something disturbing from the wiki article:
[quote]A review published in October 2013 cites the receipt of two EPIRB distress signals from the Orlova in mid-ocean, one on 23 February and another on 12 March.[16] [/quote]
It was cut loose in January. Probably just some sort of automated distress signal, but goddamn, that must have sent a chill down SOMEBODY'S ballsack.
