After reading this article about his invention, I was left curious what makes it a better mouse trap?

But in 1998, Thieu had a breakthrough -- he invented a new kind of rat trap, more effective than anything farmers had previously tried, that worked without bait and relied on extremely strong springs.

Thieu estimates his traps -- and his unique rat hunting methods -- have since killed millions of rats.

"....the vermin are regularly trapped -- and sometimes eaten."
At least they are clean rice eating vermin.

They mentioned that in the article:

"Paddy rats -- a healthier grain fed animal than their city cousins -- are prepared in a variety of ways nationwide depending on the province, often grilled or steamed with lemongrass."

Judging by the pictures, those rats get to a pretty good size. If you're going to eat rat, make sure it is organic and free range!
