Doesn't this remind you of creeping Communist crabs?

You mean — they should eat the raccoons?

What it actually reminds me of is rabbits in Oz.

Where I am, the concern is invasive plants rather than animals.

Lord knows North America has it's fair share of non-native invasive species. It's nice to see our species having a go of it.
