Joy Re: Backyard Critters doing damage

This is the trouble with a country where there's so much about ethics and what not. Do you hear about happens over here? Nada? Does China ever have any pest problem? Nada? All pests have big problems over this part of the world. They get on the menu!

When we had the Vietnamese people coming in as imported work force, dogs started to disappear in the suburban areas. When they work in the rural areas, monitor lizards and snakes started to go.

In Thailand when the insects became plentiful during the harvest, their govt didn't hand out insecticides, they put up an ad campaign in the press and TV on the the food value of the insects and they were all eaten off. Now the people look forward to the coming of these pestilence as it's chow time. I have tried the fried grasshoppers, very yummy. If you were to close your eyes and have one in your mouth, it taste exactly like fried anchovies. Those people even eat the huge paddy rats. It's seems they are real good. I didn't have a chance to have a go for it yet.
Sorry, folks of the US of A, only way is to let the Asian in and let them sort it out.
