CA AND FEDS AGREE, GIANT RODENTS ARE BAD

by Bob Walsh

The House of Representatives approved a bill to help fund the formerly great state of California's fight against the Nutria. It was helped along by Representative Josh Harder, who showed up at the hearing with a stuffed Nutria, which is essentially a really big, destructive rat.

Assuming the bill is passed into law it would approve $12 million a year for five years, most of which would presumably go to California.

One of the more creative plans is to release Nutria into the wild who have been neutered and fitted with tracking devices. They are social critters and it is believed this will allow trappers to find their nesting sites to more easily and thoroughly eliminate them.
