In an attempt to check Hanoi’s flourishing rat population, French colonial authorities in Vietnam once offered locals a bounty for each rat tail they presented to municipal authorities. It didn’t go as planned, though. Rather than killing the rodents, entrepreneurial locals built farms for them, cutting their tails off, but keeping their stock alive to breed more bounties, which led to many, many more rats.
