The news forgot one major part in this story.

Louisiana has had a campaign for years now, encouraging the eating of Neutra Rats, Haven’t heard yet, how it’s working out. Lol

 

Chicken of the trees, eat 'em up. Green iguanas are endangered in some places in Central America because they're a food source.

I'm all for eating invasive species whenever possible. Asian carp are the big one in my area. They're delicious, and they'll even do all the work and jump in the boat for you. Most people just hear "carp" and quit listening, which is a shame. We have a big fish fry 2-3 times a year for the neighborhood serving just Asian carp, and everyone loves it.

Wild hogs might be good too. I've heard it both ways but haven't tried it myself.

 

I can confirm that wild hog is good. I thought it would be gamey but definitely not the case.

 

Asian carp sounds real tasty. They have a problem with those fish around the Great Lakes(especially Lake Michigan). As for iguanas,IDK,it seems like there’s no meat on them,nothing but bones,teeth and scales,lol. They’re a nuisance sometimes,I remember a few years back one caused a blackout in Orlando after it blew a transformer! It’s also happened a lot around portions of South Florida (Key West,Tamarac, Lauderdale Lakes,etc.).
Florida officials declare open season on iguanas as lizard population

 

They actually do we hunt them on the farm down here just most are turned away by the fact it's a lizard
