I read this as 'RAT factories' - like Neanderthal decided to breed thousands of rats presumably for food. Assuming rats were meaty and not taboo then, as they are now.

Your comment reminded me of the Great Hanoi Rat Massacre (I won't spoil the punchline):

They’re still meaty and they aren’t taboo everywhere!

Whenever I go to the family farm I check to see if there are any fat juicy grilled rats at the local market. Alas, I’m still too squeamish to eat them, but I’m working up to it!

Same, and I also read Netherlands instead of Neanderthals.

I keep reading Neanderthal rat factories too! HP Lovecraft would be pleased with us.
