Great way to reward rat breeding!
I grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada. While I missed out, my father always talked about turning in gopher tails for money. My recollection is that my older brother was able to do this, and he got $1 per tail. At that price, even in the 1970s, I doubt you could have made any real money raising gophers.
From the article - "more than 26,000 square kilometres throughout the north-eastern state of Mizoram, extending into the Chin Hills of Burma and the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh"
Almost sounds like a star trek episode.
It reminds me of the cicadas that come out once every couple of decades in the US. You don't hear "US is attacked by cicadas" when that happens!
