Ronin the rat breaks world record in Cambodia by detecting more than 100 landmines​

An African landmine-sniffing rat in Cambodia has broken a world record after detecting more than 100 landmines and other explosives in the country, announced its non-profit Apopo on Friday.

The giant pouched rat has been named by the Belgian charity as its most successful Mine Detection Rat (MDR) for uncovering 109 landmines and 15 items of unexploded ordnance since 2021, Apopo said in a statement.

It's doing good work. Didn't know there's a record for this, or that rats, pardon me, HeroRATS, are used. If he does still work for two more years he will obviously break his own record. I believe they only get to fail once.

Now, who is having a word with the warmongers who ordered those mines planted to begin with? 40,000 people are missing limbs. The number of those who have lost their lives is not given.
