Reuters is a species traitor. There, I said it. After all, that’s the only thing that can explain why they would already decree that the gophers have won a battle in the War on Animals. Hey, Reuters, ever heard of “Dewey Defeats Truman?”
Now, in retrospect, the two Canadian men who were responsible for suffering a possible defeat in the war probably shouldn’t have tried to fight with an underground flash fire technique. Also, using a device called the “Rodenator” just means that you’re not going to be successful in your venture, no matter what it is. After all, we’re aware that the best technique for gopher disposal is the use of carefully shaped C-4 molds, right?
The bright point in the story? There are now 8 less gophers in the world that can plague us. Huzzah!
