I really like this reporter. He’s actually genuinely interested and involved. Even helping skin the animals and having a good time with it. Good job man
Yeah, I don't particularly like vice news; however, they didn't spin anything and you're right, he was actively helping... Not just a taking head. Exit: I've actually grown to see no biases within the group. I don't watch much, but their drug videos are INSANE!
Agreed. There are a bunch of vice reporters who just rub me the wrong way. Maybe it’s the smugness. We all remember “can we not get the Ebola monkey all over me please?” It’s like dude you bought it for them and asked how they eat it and stood right there. Now this guy on the other hand, I like. He seems more down to earth.
Exactly! Capybara were the first rodents to come to my mind in terms of similarity. Those Nutria/Coypu are pretty big I wouldn't consider compare them to rats
Unfortunately this is how it often goes with invasive species. The folks who brought them here back in the day had no idea that there would be such large ecological repercussions as there are. As a hunter I am glad that there are people out there like that chef who are trying to make sure those nutria are not going to waste. Btw good on Dexter for giving that food a go, many people would turn their noses up to it.
@@mindofvirtuoso3358 Heck, it already is. There's bottled water and in some places inflicted by drought like California and Las Vegas, water is precious.
As a Louisiana taxpayer... This where capitalism has gone wrong.. The POWERFUL Chicken, Cattle, Pork industries pay off politicians to make serving Nutria illegal.. despite the fact they are healthier more natural than mass factory farms.. We should allow small communities and districts of big cities to vote on and license restaurant chefs to cook it safely. Instead of millions of tax dollars going to hunters who just discard the Nutria millions of pounds of Nutria meat and fur. Hunters would do it for free if they could sell them to restaurants and sell their fur.. You simply make the industry a tax free industry, to regulate evasive species.. Same thing goes to the Burmese Python in Florida.. People could make money off the Skin, Fur, and meat but not if they have to pay taxes.. YOU COULD ACTUALLY TURN THE FUR COAT, SNAKE SKIN STIGMA AROUND TO THE WEALTHY.. BY BUYING ENVIRONMENTALLY POSITIVE ANIMAL SKINS.. IT'S A WIN WIN.. but the bought out politicians will not want any competition... Sucks I'm born on the American Ship and everyone votes for the captains leading us to Titanic Ice bubbles where our market collapses like a house of cards when all the money and power is condensed into a few people.
Airboats and gas ain't cheap, son. You'll need to kill about a hundred a day to make decent money off of them. I kill iguanas, pythons and tegu here in South florida. The bounty's only a quarter the money. Real money is in the skin. Skin em and sell the hide for fur.
Lets keep in mind that the foods we deem "acceptable" are largely based on societal beliefs. There is no risk in consuming nutria, yet y'all are making covid jokes. Once upon a time lobster was trash food, and how its for the rich. If we could shift that mindset, we could fix the nutria issue. Also shout out to Dr. Nyman
Nope. The lobster was considered for a long time to be the cockroach of the sea and was widely discarded as an undesirable meal. Just within the past 100 years was it commercialized as a semi - delicacy.
@TURD BURGLAR yeah I heard about people getting that but that was like mafia bosses and shit. When I was in jail I lost weight because the food was so shitty. We had a chicken quarters day on fridays, it was the only thing I liked when I was in there everything else was garbage. I had to put mad salt and pepper on food because it was so bland and had to order lots of mustard and ketchup from commissary.

I really appreciate the way this man went about this. Too many times the people of Louisiana are covered with the same old tired tropes.

@@corey8420 The stock market is not a good indicator of the economy as a whole lmao. By that logic our economy is doing good from everyone losing their jobs. We've had the best week since 1933 with almost a third of the country filing for unemployment. Its pure speculation
@@peacegoose the stock market is a good indicator of eoples confidence in the economy. Yes people are laid off, but those jobs did not vanish. The service industry is shut down everything from restaurant, bars, bowling alleys and gyms, just to name a few. Do you think once the virus is under control those job won't be there? I don't get your reasoning, ease explain
Corey the thing is we still don’t even know when the virus will really blow over. So investor confidence is still a really poor indicator. In my area they ended up extending the shelter in place to even longer bc there’s no sign of it getting better any time soon. As for the jobs still being there, you can’t say that about every job, or every source of income. Those whose income depends on things like property management are screwed with people starting to not pay rent. My fault for using right now as an example when the outcomes are still so unknown, but look at the other top gain days in the stock markets. The days the stock markets make as much of gains as recently have been before the Great Depression and in 2008. Both of which were not the best of times for anyone. There are so many other factors to look into for an economy’s well being. Obviously EVENTUALLY things will get better, but the real question is when and just how badly will things get before things start to turn around.

Nice to see a story with just a story the information presented to us, instead of an opinion shoved down my throat. Seems like how Vice used to always be.
It’s refreshing to see a reporter that is interested and involved in someone else’s lifestyle rather than just screaming that they’re a stupid animal killer and such.
Agreed honestly , the way the world has shifted from the mid 2000's to now is just a bunch of whiners I'm Canadian born and raised! If i put a deer kill on Facebook for the first time , somebody who has transitioned from being an old friend of mine to a snow flake would bash me on it like i did something wrong.. I do my best to keep my footprint short to be fair. But ill be bashed for killing my own animal? I just don't understand the world nowadays.
the reporters body language, tone and facial expressions seemed agressive to me. look at 1:05. its clear the interviewer looks down the the hunter. the hunter is acting sheepish and is in strong defense mode. this is a liberal hit piece to try and get sympathy for the poor little swamp rats
No one is denying that this isn't his lifestyle. It is, it's just a cruel, backward, barbaric and an immoral lifestyle. This dude is a stupid animal killer regardless of how much you wanna sugarcoat it.
@@callspreadzero854 Well, when the government realizes they can't actually control guns with gun control, they start thinking a bit smarter, increased prices of ammunition due too the increase in sourced materials, it's genius really you start upping shipping taxes on imported goods, for example Saltpeter one of the main ingredients in gunpowder is imported from india read the news article here about them raising import costs of other items i.e furniture, electronics, etc by 20%, they profit and so does the government in turn by limiting the poorer populous too not being able to afford munitions, or completely limiting their ability to even buy it completely by causing short stock globally, mostly the rich can still obtain these items, and in time of rebellion most the rich wouldn't risk losing all they've gained for the well being of this country, we're day by day being stripped of our rights, in a way that we barely even notice what's actually happening.

There's a shooting range nearby my house, it's pretty normalized but I find it funny if some foreigners come and hear gun shots every night and get freaked out lol
I've been trapping and eating nutria since the 90s here in Oregon. They taste good and it helps make my family self sufficient. Goin for my deer tomorrow.
It said you had to be licensed so not just anyone can bring in tails. I’m sure the public officials have heard of the cobra effect and hopefully have some checks on it
Jacquelynn corona happened because the Chinese kept the meat uncooked so they can sell it on the market. If the Chinese would kill their own food and cook it right away there would be no such thing as corona virus spreading on humans
Skullz Esac interestingly enough, the same exact thing happened in India. Back when the British were running the show, they had a huge problem with cobras and they were paying people for every dead cobra brought to them. It wasn’t long until people realized they could just breed them. When the British finally caught on, they put an end to it and those same people released all those cobras into the wild since they were now worthless making the problem 10 times worse
@@tonysapa15 They could open a season and sell tags. Thus increasing revenue towards wild life conservation and hunting in general. I bet they taste good too.
@@Zkullz69 the season is already open, and instead of selling tags, the state pays you for shooting them. And you dont have to turn in anything except the tail, so you can do whatever with the carcass.
@Louis Jones I don't know anything about the nutria..but I think he was talking about rats eating their babies. I don't know if it is true and I don't care enough to Google it. Just here to clarify.
I've seen this on outdoor shows for years. This isn't new. For years there has been a bounty on them. Most people outside LA and hunters just don't know how big the problem is. Most people also don't realize that Hunters contribute more to conservation every single year than any other group.
@@cgustafson240 I don't disagree with any of your points. The original comment was in reference to other outdoor youtube channels who censor/limit the content of their videos to fit youtubes monetization guidelines.
Wow, it’s true. All this time I used to think my buddies in the military were joking when they used to tease the southern guys about eating swamp rats😳
There are concerns with selling rodent meat. While nutria maybe safe it's considered rodent meat. Rat meat is a problem because of disease but the way a law maybe written that all rodent meat is illegal to sell. You would need to double check the law but that's my best guess.
We also have an invasion of nutria here in Northern Italy. River banks are full of tunnels because of nutria. During the flooding period, water penetrate through river banks making the collapse of them.
This story is similar to the story in my neighborhood. In 80s there were so many mosquitoes in my neighborhood. And then someone brought a few of lizard (a kind of) which are eating the mosquitoes. And now we have too many lizard, ironically we have still so many mosquitoes.
@Tutti Frutti they are not muskrats "In the rest of the world, nutria is the name of the fur of the animal. Nutria are smaller than a beaver but larger than a muskrat; unlike beavers or muskrats, however, it has a round, slightly haired tail" google
People have no problem killing pythons in Florida. Chefs are trying get people to agree about Lionfish; eat em out (of the equation people). Hogs are certainly a problem and have nobody asking whether they are edible.
I remember my graphics design teacher telling me a story about how he went to Louisiana and was kayaking with a few friends and they were hunting for nutrias. He just watched them ride close to the Nutrias and smack their jaws open with an oar.
I love that chef. He's right about the French and snails, we turn our nose down at certain delicacies because we aren't familiar with them while eating our escargot, fois gras and whatever else is the flavour of the day.

The jobs are not gone, it's just people can't work right due to the virus, once it is gone the people can go back to their jobs. I think if Biden gets elected the jobs will really be gone. Just look at what the market did after Sanders dropped out.
@@corey8420 The stock market is not a good indicator of the economy as a whole lmao.
By that logic our economy is doing good from everyone losing their jobs. We've had the best week since 1933 with almost a third of the country filing for unemployment.
Its pure speculation
@@peacegoose the stock market is a good indicator of eoples confidence in the economy.
Yes people are laid off, but those jobs did not vanish. The service industry is shut down everything from restaurant, bars, bowling alleys and gyms, just to name a few.
Do you think once the virus is under control those job won't be there? I don't get your reasoning, ease explain
Corey the thing is we still don’t even know when the virus will really blow over. So investor confidence is still a really poor indicator. In my area they ended up extending the shelter in place to even longer bc there’s no sign of it getting better any time soon. As for the jobs still being there, you can’t say that about every job, or every source of income. Those whose income depends on things like property management are screwed with people starting to not pay rent.
My fault for using right now as an example when the outcomes are still so unknown, but look at the other top gain days in the stock markets. The days the stock markets make as much of gains as recently have been before the Great Depression and in 2008. Both of which were not the best of times for anyone.
There are so many other factors to look into for an economy’s well being. Obviously EVENTUALLY things will get better, but the real question is when and just how badly will things get before things start to turn around.

Skullz Esac interestingly enough, the same exact thing happened in India. Back when the British were running the show, they had a huge problem with cobras and they were paying people for every dead cobra brought to them. It wasn’t long until people realized they could just breed them. When the British finally caught on, they put an end to it and those same people released all those cobras into the wild since they were now worthless making the problem 10 times worse

In this episode, VICE shows what other outdoor channels would never dare
I've seen this on outdoor shows for years. This isn't new. For years there has been a bounty on them. Most people outside LA and hunters just don't know how big the problem is. Most people also don't realize that Hunters contribute more to conservation every single year than any other group.

The meat could be used to make dog food or whatever but don't throw it away.
There are concerns with selling rodent meat. While nutria maybe safe it's considered rodent meat. Rat meat is a problem because of disease but the way a law maybe written that all rodent meat is illegal to sell. You would need to double check the law but that's my best guess.
@John Smith I really don't see any issue with anybodies diet unless it harms themselves or others. I don't see why it should be any other way
