It is a rat. A "dumbo" breed (bigger ears)

I classify a majority of the human race as vermin, unfortunately the law doesn't give me the leeway to eradicate them.
Over here you can. Under certain circumstances. All the dudes (apart from me) in my office have a concealed firearm/licence. Dirty Harry Law FTW.

Awesome, I always thought I'd have to do it under some asinine false pretenses like religious decrees or something like the rest of the world does...

Rats, mice and allot of other rodents classified as "vermin" can be wonderful pets.. what you dont seem to understand is the difference between pets & wild animals, or the differences between the different animals.
Armadillos fucking do dig out the foundation of your house if they get the chance, just as badgers might do.
1/6 of the wild Armadillos do carry leprosy, its a scientific fact.
If you have pets, they can be infected with parasites if they bite the Armadillo, or come in contact with its fecal matter.
Nope, its still just an Armadillo.
Your house might not be sinking in to the ground because you dont have animals that dig large enough holes in those areas.
Your argument is so flawed its insane..
"Hey, i have nuclear waste in my basement, but i feel fine, so it cant be harmful!"
Anyways, you fail to see the difference between a rabbit eating on your bushes, a mice making a nest in your attic, a mole digging in your yard, and a leprosy carrying vermin digging out your foundation.
Just to pester a bit more...
Imagine you are confortably playing with your children in the garden.
Your neighbour have the unpleasant visit of an armadillo, he take his gun and start shooting at the little bastard.
Isn't it more dangerous and harmful to gun it down than the animal itself?
In Europe we prefer traditional weapons to get rid of rabbits and dragons.
seriously... i mean... SERIOUSLY... how many times to have to say it in this thread that i live in the countryside and have NO neighbors that are close to my property... the closest does not have children, he's a retired parks & recreation services worker, who kills them himself.. though usually with gas!!!!

thank you notuern.. i was just about to make a very similar post.. you've saved me the trouble.
and thefyn.. i did mention that a family of wild rabbits live in my yard...i like watching them, and i leave them alone... they stay away from people and my pets, and only come into the yard at night..... i come out and watch them.. i like them. never seen one sign of damage from them.... very unlike the big-ass holes i've had to fill in over the last few years that were directly at the base of my home's support pilings, endangering their stability. if your home is on a slab, then you'll never have those issues, and the pics you've posted lead me to believe this is the case... my home is built on support pilings,,, it's a few feet off the ground... so you don't have the answer for everyone, ok?
don't wanna hear any more crap from you about how this or that animal also carries disease... so do humans, and we don't avoid them either... armadillos ARE nastier and more dangerous than domestic animals (no, they don't attack... but they do dig, and leave dangerous droppings), many other wild animals, and your average person.. it is not irrational to eliminate them from your living environment.
period. end of story. :Smug:

You haven't got a clue mate. Mice/rats nesting in your house = infinitely more dangerous than what you mentioned. They chew every wire they can get their teeth into and cause 1000s more fires than digging creatures cause foundation problems.
If the very foundation of your house is in danger because of a burrow, you have bigger problems than armadillos.

thefyn, sincerely SHUT THE FUCK UP
James has proven his point 14 million times and you keep going on tangents and trying to prove stupid trivial bullshit
Stop it for Sneap´s sake, stop it already!
I fucking convinced my VEGETARIAN girlfriend that shooting them is the most humane way to get rid of them and it is needed to get rid of them, and that James is a good person and has no choice with his rodent problem, GET OVER IT

¯\(°_o)/¯ How do Lydian?
Bold = 100% wrong. FFS how many dog attack stories do you see compared to Armadillo related incidents?
Do you know how many holes are under your home? Newsflash, you have dozens of networks of mole/armadillo/snake holes under your house right now and there is nothing you can do about it.
There could be a hole 40 yards from your house under a thorny bush and the tunnel will end up under your house. It is a million to one chance you will have structural damage because pilings go so deep and everything is built with burrowing animals in mind. The only people who mention structural damage are the people who profit from it. Pest control companies etc.
You can't stop it. Everyone reading this has all sorts of shit they THINK they can control it, but you cant.
