I wasn't aware that various species of the rodent family were verboten to speak about here.
I hope rats are okay. and capybaras. Love them.

They are eaten all over South America - except Chile apparently, but especially in Venezuela - and are apparently really tasty!

I know this evil of which you speak, and it breaks my heart. Those critters are way to clever to be eaten. =(

Some idiots in my area had them as pets with a breeding pair.
Of course, they escaped and I am sure we will be overrun in a few decades.
Team Coyote, do your thing!

It's just the one species that is a naughty word.

And I think the assumption that it can chew through internet fiber might make it worse!
Horrible pictures come to mind... LOL

Did a beaver chew through a cable? Fell a tree that took out infrastructure? Have a burst dam take out infrastructure?
I recall reading that much of North America's topography was shaped by beavers, whose dams backfilled low-lying areas and made them more fertile.

From what I read, a single beaver felled a tree that took out some fiber optic lines.

I used to work for a power company in Vermont. My boss heard a loud bang at his house and the power goes out. He goes out into his yard and finds a smoking fried squirrel on the ground and the fuse on his utility pole was blown.

My uncle had the same thing, except it was a squirrel nest on top of a transformer. The casing rusted through and one night during a storm, the transformer exploded.

We lived on Guam in the mid-70’s and occasionally had island wide power outages that were supposedly caused by suicidal snakes crawling into some power stations or whatever.

But what about the squirrels?!?

They became squirrel-infused confetti.
