A Nutria in Every Pot

The ever horny nutria is spreading across America and now has populations in 40 states. Luckily for us northerners, they don't like it too cold, preferring the warmer climes of Louisiana and states that similarily duplicate the climate of their South American homeland. The original populations were escapees from nutria farms in the south where they were grown for their fur. Maryland and other eastern seaboard states have instituted very effective nutria eradication programs which combined with some cold winters have reduced populations dramatically. The nutria eat plant and tree roots with beaver-like ferocity causing major destruction to marshland and estuaries.

For the culinary crowd they even taste better than muskrat... or like chicken... or something like that... STORY
