Jim...Enough of this Mickey Mouse BS.... Thats a Lot of Dong Nearly Two Million Mice Get Chop for Bounty HANOI (Reuters) - Citizens of Hanoi have killed about 1.7 million mice this year in an officially inspired crackdown aimed at controlling burgeoning numbers of the creatures, official media reported Monday. The official Vietnam News newspaper said the number killed was more than double that in the same period last year and the state had paid out 377 million dong ($27,000) in rewards. Citizens can claim about 200 dong for every tail they hand in to local authorities. The paper said some individuals had netted as much as 2-3 million dong ($140-$220) Authorities have also been encouraging people to keep cats. One commune had promised villagers $2.50 for each cat they took in and now had more than 500, the paper said.
