We've already got bandicoots, bushrats, possums, brush turkeys and a
plethora of other wildlife and exotic pests being a nuisance in our
gardens.... don't think we'll be taking you up on that offer somehow.
Maybe you can find a niche market in Asia - New Zealand has a huge
problem with Australian possums and started exporting them as meat to
China - they called them 'Kiwi Bears'!!!! It might just be a matter of
finding a creative name for those tasty critters :)

Hmmm..."Tunnel bunnies - the other white meat." :)
