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 h

There is a ton of debate on how to reduce the number of nutrias because their immense population has destroyed nature and agriculture. More specifically, regarding the passages, the writer puts forth the idea that there are three possible solutions. In the listening passage, the lecturer rapidly points out the flaws in each of the claims given by the writer, and the professor believes that the methods proposed should not be used and addresses, in detail, the trouble with each point made in the reading text.

First and foremost, the author states metal wires could disrupt their habitat, slowly killing them. He explains that metal-wired fences would be effective since they cannot chew through them, but the lecturer takes issue with his claim by contending that they have sharp claws. It refers to the fact that they could use their anatomical feature to dig under the fences to invade space, making the plan of building one useless and unguaranteed.

One group of scholars, represented by the writer, thinks that draining the excess water is an alternative since they need to live in a wet environment. Of course, not all experts in this field agree that this would be successful. Again, the speaker addresses this point asserting that the farmers would continuously drain the area when rain fell. He goes on to say that the method is impossible to carry out in regions with low water levels; thus, the plan is unreasonable.

Finally, the author wraps his argument by positing that hunters can trap and eradicate them. He emphasizes that this method would be beneficial in numerous aspects, like using fur and meat for profit. In the class, the lecturer took note of a significant issue with this suggestion since it would be challenging to trap them individually. Besides, it would be a long process since they would need to specifically care for the pregnant ones, for they can produce thirteen babies per liter, and the majority of them are reported to have a wide range of parasites. For instance, the tapeworms make it an undesirable choice for the hunter to have close contact with or even consider the factor of selling their fur and meat.

To sum up, both the writer and professor hold contradictory views on how to reduce Nicaragua's population. Evidently, the counterattacks mentioned in the lecture effectively challenge the writer. It is also clear that they will have trouble finding common ground on this subject.
