Ask Hawaii how their answer to this problem worked out. Now they have a problem with rats and mongoose.
We know about the problem with rats and disease. But mongooses also have a long history of agricultural impacts since their introduction to Hawaii in the 1880s. they have a history of attacks of mongooses on farmed eggs, chickens and ducks in Kaimuki. On Maui, damages led to a bounty of 10 cents for every mongoose head turned in.
To understand how mongooses had become such a problem, consider the math. Mongooses can produce an average of 36 young in a lifetime (approximately 4 years). The original introduction to Maui was 72 mongooses in 1883. If just half were female, and half of them survived, this would mean that there were 648 offspring produced in the next 4 years. If half of those were female, and if only half of those females survived to produce offspring, the second generation would result in 5,832 offspring. At this same rate, by 1916 there could have been millions of mongooses on Maui. We’re long past that.
And how about their pig problem or chicken problem. They introduced all these to the islands and now they are up to their armpits in them. Sometimes, man has no idea what he does. I think Christ said that.

Let’s be careful how we talk about rats. 3/4’s of our elected representatives are rats. They are either or are carrying/ spreading the disease of leftism. Heck so are our judges. We may have to poison them with lead, sulphur, and saltpeter with some charcoal.
