SCHRIEVER -- With brooms, scrapers and paddles in hand, snail hunters took to the bayous and swamps off La. 20 Tuesday morning to combat a looming invasion of alien intruders....

Can you say Escargot?
;D

Learned to like em in Spain.

They threaten the rice harvest...say it ain't so, Joe!!!

Kill those F'ers before they screw up my Cajun cuisine!
Red Beans & Nothing just doesn't have the same cachet!

Man, that's a big snail you have there sir
.
For those researchers out there, I've attached a website...I like my snails with lots of garlic, butter and Filo dough please

It also became quickly clear that the imported species were able to transfer the Angiostrongylus cantonensis (rat lungworm) parasite just like the native apple snail population (Pila). This parasite spends a part of its life cycle in apple snails and can infect humans when the snail isn't cooked long enough before consumption.
Instead of becoming a food source they escaped, and became a serious pest, posing a real threat to the rice production and the environment.

NO THANKS!!!

Yikes...that'll teach me to read.
I'm all set, no apple snail escargot for me either.

Wow!
It'd be cool to have one of those in my aquarium; they're bigger than some of the fish I have.

Don't listen to him.

If given the correct amount of time, the correct amount of barley pop, anything is edible my friend and will probably taste damn good.
;D

Time to plant some fire ants and long-horned grasshoppers... said to eat the critters eggs..
