The moral of the story is wrong.
If people are going to go ahead and cheat the system en masse, no system of incentives will ever work properly and they will languish.
Civil society requires us to generally do the right thing, most of the time, because there's ample opportunity to be shortsighted and cheat.
FYI Here's how Alberta git rid of rats [1], though I don't see any mention of rewards either, more of a publicly managed awareness program with hired pets killers.

- yummypaint 7y agoI dont think anyone "cheated" in this case. Official government policy effectively turned rat tails into currency. Once that change was made, no amount of good intentions could prevent the inevitable.
- yborg 7y ago"Buildings are occasionally moved or torn down, and in some cases, rats are dug out with a backhoe or bulldozer." Alberta really hates rats.
