Help Control the Rooligator Population: Take Part in the WLC Survey

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the urgent need to control the rooligator population, a pest known for its rapid reproduction and destructive feeding habits, particularly on oil seed rape crops. Scientists are actively seeking non-toxic methods for culling these pests, which resemble large rats with elongated jaws and gnawing teeth. Participants are encouraged to contribute to the WLC survey by counting rooligators in their fields and reporting their findings to the specified address in Liverpool. This grassroots effort aims to gather data to inform pest control strategies.

The rooligator is a voracious pest, a ( flood ) of them have been known to strip a field of oil seed rape in a single day.
The rooligator is so named because of it's elongated jaw and gnawing teeth, they are the size of a large rat
and can move very rapidly, science is trying to find a way to cull these beasties without resorting to poisons which may be taken by other wild life, because they breed like mice and the population may well reach epic proportions scientists are looking for help in controlling this outbrake.
So if you can spare the time go out into the fields and do a count,
Send your count to:

I figured it's a love child between an alligator and a kangaroo...

I have not seen any here. But just to be sure, I wandered my field and found exactly zero.
