The French reptiles are showing as much fight as their human neighbors did in 1940...

LOL, hell has frozen over and the pigs have flown from their roost; French Arkansas???????????? I know Louisiana territory and all that, but, but, no way! The only time Arkansans feel French is when they go into the local state liquor stor and ask for some Fussy Pussy wine.
I've bookmarked this thread and will post the recipe, and I'll give another that is also good.
French Arkansas, LOL!

The prolific Louisiana Red Swamp crawfish...is thought to have escaped into wetland areas of France in 1976. I'm sorry, but did I miss something? How did the crawfish cross the Atlantic?

There we go again, man trying to gamble with mother nature. You'd think that after so many failed experiments to introduce a new organism to a new environment, people would stop doing it and yet...still at it! I am not an environmentalist wacko but we truly are destroying our environment by being plain stupid.

They are French frogs ie, they are small. The main food for our bullfrogs and other "rania" are guess what, crawfish on the hoof.

Living in the Great Lakes area, I see this as payback for the zebra mussel.

Them damn Rusty Crayfish wiped out beucoup WI. spawning beds as well....they are some aggressive little bass turds...
A few enterprising folks began to trap them out...and make a little money selling them...but the DNR stepped in and ruined that for everyone..dictating how it must be done and selling very expensive licenses...
The government ran most everyone out of business...and so the problem crayfish proliferate...
imo

Scientists in Spain have reported that astaxanthin, the reddish-orange pigment in the shell and body that gives the Louisiana crawfish its name, is turning the skin of baby white storks an orange color that could be disturbing to their parents, raising concerns about nesting success.Bwaaahaaahaaaa !! L0L Id bet the storks are quite happy to have the tasty treats! Birds love crawfish! What a BS article! Bwahhahhhaaahaa

ooohhhhh, I forgot about that, although they come out ahead; they can eat the bugs, we can't cook the mussels. Too much trouble to shuck.

If France doesn't like the crayfish invasion, just tell them its just a form of environmental multiculturalism. Their diversity is their strength. The crayfish have a right to be there, and whatever demands are placed on French resources and infrastructure will have to be accommodated. If they must raise taxes and go to a 25 hour work week, they will have to do so to show acceptance of the crayfish's right to exist. Besides, the crayfish are only there to eat the plants that french crustaceans don't want to eat. To show that America supports the French in their quest to assimilate the bio-diverse crustacean culture, we, the US, will send humanitarian supplies consisting of peppers and spices.
