A few years ago, the legislators from my area ( a big cotton growing area) introduced boll weevil eradication legislation (the boll weevil wiped out cotton production in east Texas decades ago, that's why it's now grown here). I don't have documentation, but I heard some of the pointy-headed Austin type legislators had a problem with the word "eradication". The animal has no predators that I know of and eats only cotton bolls.
