Dang it, we have two endangered species of rats here in the Florida Keys. The Silver Rice Rat and the Key Largo Wood Rat. Now they found one they don't like. This is one big rat, the Gambian Giant Pouch Rat.

Seems that they are tasty as well:

The easiest way to prepare a Gambian rat is to put it into the fire whole, turning it to singe off the fur and whiskers.

The singed fur can be scraped off with a knife. Gut and wash the body. Cut off and discard the feet and tail. Cut the rat into chunks and soak in water for half an hour before cooking. The head is sometimes cooked whole, or crushed with stones to release juices to thicken soup. Add salt and seasoning.

Serves two to four.

Immigrant rats. Infesting islands American rats don’t want to infest.

The “surge” is working! No wonder the ‘rats are protesting.

Oh! From the title, I thought they were exterminating DemocRATS! This would be a federal program I could get behind!! :)
