The answer is simple. Convince the Chinese that the liver is an aphrodisiac. They’ll all be gone by spring.

They eat 'em in Louisiana.

I wouldn't.

I don't do rat...at least not yet.

Wait until the Apocalypse...they'll be chasing them all over the place.

Set loose the dogs of war! Let go the slings and hammer of outrageous fortunate!

Release the cougars, dire wolves, sabre-tooth tigers and grizzly bears and polar bears!

(Or just allow hunting ... for a profit.)

which devastate agricultural infrastructure by burrowing into levees, roadbeds and canal beds.

They have no agriculture in the countries where these things originated?

Hunting isn’t the problem.

It’s the ‘profit’ part that’s difficult...............
