Calif. will probably put them on the Endangered Species list.

What will eat the cobras?

Practically anything from Australia. I'd be in favor of something spiderish...

They sound nutriatious.

Meat is meat.

“offer $5 bounty on each rat/nutria”

Considering they were once nearly eradicated here, there is a formula that works.

It just needs to be repeated, and completed this time.

And yes, thousands of kids with .22 rifles could do the job easily at $5 per.

Ha, they are still eating rats in Nam. Why not do a media blitz in Asia and deport them. Maybe they’ll stop eating dogs.

''I just don't think people like to eat things that they see dead on the highway."

Really?

Yet people eat venison on a regular basis.

Find another theory.

Make a movie about them and maybe it will win an Oscar like The Shape of Water. Especially if you throw in human-animal sex. /sarcasm

“nutria” just sounds like something you should eat.

I don't see anything about this on Juan Browne's youtube channel; so apparently they aren't tearing into the Oroville dam yet.
