Only in Texas!

This was an email I got on my listserve today:

My husband needs more armadillos at the ranch in Llano County. The drought last year decimated the armadillo population (no water=no grubs=no food for armadillos, and not enough water). Not enough armadillos = proliferation of termite mounds and red ants (they eat both) = huge areas of pasture land destroyed by the insects. Destruction of pasture (grasses) = erosion, proliferation of invasive species, etc.

If you have any that you have trapped and want a place to put them, let me know. He will come get them and take them to a really nice place in the country where they will have plenty of food (and water -- they now have LOTS of water) and can reproduce and restore balance to the ecosystem there. And it's unlikely they'll be run over -- too many acres of pasture to live on to wander out into the road.

And if you have anyone who's fast enough to catch them, send them over to my house -- I have several armadillos (or more), but can't run fast enough to grab them any more.
