At least they get to keep their nutria.

Louisiana works out deal for family to keep pet nutria

After much public outcry, state officials now say they will let a Louisiana couple keep a 22-pound nutria -- a beady-eyed, orange-toothed, rat-tailed rodent commonly considered a wetlands-damaging pest -- as a pet.

And this is what a nutria looks like.

It kinda reminds me of a beaver mixed with a capybara

omg nutrias are a menace, but if they had em for two years, cheers to them 😭
always found them kinda cute tho

They’re cute yeah, I’m not too sure of the best move here though. If one person gets away with it what’s to stop others from taking wild animals and keeping them as pets? A nutria probably is not especially dangerous, but there do exist dangerous or endangered wild animals and so on. It just feels to me like certain laws may be dumb but some other ones are more reasonable, even if people may not like them.

It definitely looks like a capybara, very cute Idk if I’d want to keep it as a pet but as long as it’s happy.
