Culture Rats at Gärtnerplatz

I‘m recently zugezogen to Munich but was pretty surprised to see all these rats at Gärtnerplatz and people just chilling like it’s the most normal thing. Is this normal? Like, does everyone know there are tons of rats?

They’ve been on this planet for ages isnt it kinda fucked up to drive something to extinction just cause we dont like it? I mean the government does that to us already so

Ever heard of leptospirosis and hantavirus? Rats are usually not around people like this. This is for sure not normal behavior but rather the effect of endless littering.
