If you think there was blowback from arming Afghanistan, just wait until you have superintelligent rage-filled rodents with access to grain stores and enough land to multiply like crazy.

The techniques have already been tested in Toronto:
Capybara, ugh! I wiki’d that varmint and saw they are pretty much confined to South America. Largest one ever found was a female, which weighed in at 201 pounds. Egad!
Slightly less than half that size is the nutria, which are apparently destroying the wetlands of the Gulf coast. The nutria is also native to South America, but some irresponsible folks who were “fur farming” brought the nasty devils to the US. Some people trap and eat them. Apparently, they are not eating them fast enough. And since I’ve never heard of a nutria fur coat, the fur farming business was a bust.
Those scientists don’t need to do gene manipulation! All they have to do is check out what is running around in South America!
Does anybody else think that all these critters sort of resemble the beaver/woodchuck family?

Not to worry. Some wiseguys brought North American beaver to Patagonia for the same reason, with the same result, so we’re even there.
Just wait until the beavers and nutrias (or capybaras) start interbreeding. You ain’t seen shit yet!
