> [@njtt](#): > > [Oh, really?](http://www.nutria.com/site7.php) My good fellow, that website is propaganda from the Louisiana state government intended to induce their fellow Francophones into thinking that the nutria has suitable fur for coats on the grounds that, while fur is murder, killing nutria is justifiable homicide. Rodenticide. Whatever. As a French-speaking attorney who has been to both Louisiana and Quebec, and had close encounters with nutria fur, you can trust me. So I doubt they’re buying it. ---

Sur l’autre main, perhaps the apparent rabbit was in fact a perfidious shape-shifting swamp witch or bog demon, and Carter was wearing the Presidential Continuous Detect Evil Ring, and therefore knew the demon-rabbit or witch-hare was a worthy opponent? ---
