Nutria is a beaver-like rat, sized approximately 24 inches long, growing up to 20 pounds, and usually living in semi-aquatic habitats. This creature originated in South America but is now widely spread throughout the ecosystem, becoming an annoying pest that harms the environment. Several solutions to prevent nutrias have been proposed in response.
One way is to use strong fences and walls made out of hard materials. Since nutrias have strong teeth to chew off wooden or Styrofoam structures, metal fences and walls can be effective. This would prevent nutrias from damaging farms, lawns, and gardens. Once they are installed, an extra maintenance fee would not be necessary, which means it is also reasonable in terms of price.
The second way is to dry up the drainage. Any place where water is running can be an attractive place for nutrias to use as a habitat or a travel route. Consequently, removing water from drainage could stop the nutrias from populating the place. Such a measure would be effective, especially in highlands where drainage systems are frequently used for growing sugar canes or rice crops. This is because, in contrast to lowlands, water does not stream permanently in high sites.
The third method is to cook nutrias for food. Unlike common thoughts, nutria meat has a tender texture, making it a favorable delicacy to the dinner table. Nutrias are also very nutritious. They contain high amounts of proteins and carbohydrates and low levels of fat and cholesterol than other domestic animals. For example, beef has less than 17 grams of protein per 100 grams, while nutrias contain an average of 22 grams.
The passage states that nutria has become widespread in the ecosystem and is becoming annoying pest that harms the environment. Moreover, the athour provides three solutions to prevents nutrias. However, the professor in the lecture says that the solutions may not be successful and repudiates each of the solutions.
First, the reading claims that by using strong fences and walls out of hard materials will be a preventivie solution. Notwithstanding, the professor refutes the view by saying that this will not be effective. He describes that nutrias are able to dig the ground, so by making wall with hard materials will not be able to prevent them. Even if the walls or fences are make from the deeper ground, nutrias can dig that and can penetrate the walls or fences.
Second, the passage posits that dry up the drainage can be another solution to eradicate nutrias. On the contrary, the professor challenges this point also and tells that this solution is too extreme. According to the professor, draining system is using for the farming and if ther is no drainage system, then farmer will not survive. It will also affect the normal people to live normal life.
Third, the author in the article mentions that another method to prevent nutrias is to cook them for food. Nevertheless, the professor opposes this solution too and describes that a nutria's body contains a lot of bacteria and parasites. These bactereia and parasites cause different diseases. For example bacteria may cause body problem, and parasites may cause rush on skin, fever, and wieght loss to consumers. Therefore, nutrias are not suitable as a food.
