As of tonight, 3/17, the LaDWLF Director has compromised and agreed to issue a permit, with conditions that will allow the family to keep the animal whose life they saved. And despite the ravings of "haters" everyone in Louisiana IS NOT going to want one/trap one as a pet. A happy ending for once❤

Leave these people alone.

[@MoonStar-eo8lv]

What about people who have monkeys as pets? Leave Nudie alone and let him live with the only family he knows since he was a baby and orphaned. What is wrong with human beings, if they are human. They would rather see a domesticated animal die then to let it live in peace.

Don't take Neuty away!

[@brocktoon8]

Anybody notice Neuty holds out his little pinky finger while eating like a fancy pants? 😂 What a charmer!

[@K-yu-ko8dv]

they're really quite chill, capybara relatives that just chill there

[@agees924]

He’s adorable. I love nutria, they are usually friendly

[@mrerick0363652]

Wow with all the crime you want to go after these people.

[@googlea2692]

The kind of stuff this state focuses on when majority of the population is moving away is terrible. Leave those people alone it’s legal in their parish! Deal with the shitty underpaying jobs in the state!

As a rat enthusiast, this is a dream 🤩

That's so sad. JP has better things to do.

[@carolyngeary323]

So cute why wouldn't you want one

[@MiiDusa]

I actually ràised a mama Nutria & her little pups & one they were big enough I let them free in my backyard with was also a swamplamp here in Louisiana. Crazy enough, when I was a little girl, my family in Metairie cooked some Nutria & we use to eat them often. Pretty tasty little critters when cooked right! 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

[@janicefernelson8977]

So they just set on social media and wait to see what they can go mess up

[@Mia-cc9bm]

Neuty is so calm!

[@sabineb.5616]

Is Neuty neutered?

[@aprilcampbell4910]

I just found a baby nutria across the street in the creek and called a wildlife rehab because I literally had no clue what to do and I didn't want him to be swept away from his momma 🥺 they told me to put him back and go back in 1 1/2 hrs and see if he's still there.

[@Dakiniwoman]

wow... well I had never heard of that animal in my long 78 year life, but he is a darling and I can see he makes a great pet. He looks like a Beaver...except for the tail.

[@cw7443]

You guys are awesome ❤

[@abbeyna01]

So cute

[@MrRowley5]

[@kingofthehill7042]

It’s a rat hat?

[@chadsmith7075]

[@filler7359]

[@ub85zwq]

You are supposed to eat them things. Thats why they're called 'Nutrients'!

[@jodiross1902]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@eddo2001]

Reminds me of that episode of Insomniac where Dave Attell was shooting the nutrias from the pickup truck.
