Louisiana tried to establish a market in China. The Chinese didn't go for it.
Maybe North Korea . . .

Don’t know which is worse; nutria or armadillos...

In Louisiana members of the SWAT team hunt for them from the backs of pickup trucks:

When I was a kid my buddies and I would go up on the Bald Hills and spend the day shooting grey diggers. Didn’t have SWAT teams back then.

I remember the “Raise Nutria in your Basement or Garage for fur!” back in the 1950s. How’d that go over.
To: Red Badger
Hahaha,
!Cali soooo deserves this new incursion of illegals!

Been tried in the 1950s. Did not go over well.

Time for an oldstyle solution:
Give a $50 bounty on each Nutria turned in. Allow leghold traps (very effective on nutria, and humane, the trap drags them underwater and drowns them), and snares. Allow them to be hunted without limit.
California will not do that, because it would be politically incorrect. Better the state be overrun with vermin than allow the common man a hand in eradicating them.
$50 each would be cheap compared to what they are paying the six man “eradication” team.
Six people, full time, six months. Figure $25 an hour minimum in California, with benefits. That is six thousand hours or $150,000 dollars.
They got 200 nutria. That is equivalent to $750 bounty for each!

“Hunting isn’t the problem. It’s the ‘profit’ part that’s difficult...............” Treat them same as feral hogs. Land owners let hunters on their property to hunt them in the game hunting off season, no charge. Bubba will kill’em, heh heh 😊...
