It's eaten in other countries. Some American cities have problems with too many of them, but nobody will do the obvious thing, and eat them.

Here in Louisiana, the state government is also trying to get people to eat nutria again. It has become a hazard to the environment, and hunting them could be a partial solution. But the nutria, despite having been used for food in the past, has come to be known as "nutria rat," which makes people wince at the thought of eating one. They look like a beaver, except for the ratlike tail.
