I'll be damned if I get overrun by a bunch of snails. Giant African Snails were brought to Brazil as a new delicacy, but now they think they own the place. The gastronomical trend didn't catch on as well as entrepreneurs had hoped, mostly cause few people in Brazil eat snails to begin with. Now they're an invasive species, inflating the rat and pest populations and displacing other local niches. Nothing we can do about it? Bullshit.
Humans can eat a species right into extinction, even by accident. So don't tell me we can't handle a bunch of tasty animals that we're trying to eradicate. Granted, they are giant snails so you're gonna be pretty full. But If everyone would just pitch in I'm sure we could get this done.
P.S. Don't click to the second page of the article that details possible pathogens and worms that snails can carry. It'll seriously kill your escargot jones.
