we are not savage brutes who shoot at anything that moves. we are survivalists who shoot what we must to eat in lean times. an armadillo is a terrible animal to shoot because their meat when cooked is not edible except for for the truly desperate.
what this changes is the nature of the roadkill in our mountains and valleys, and this also is a symptom of our entire bioregion dying to mistreatment and mismanagement by a society who sees the trees and rivers we depend on for life itself and see only timber and fossil fuels
It just gives them something else to shoot at

The comment wasn’t super serious but I’ve been around enough rednecks and hillbillies to recognize that they will take shots at the armadillos.
Indeed: one of the major causes of bird death from power lines is that people can see crows perched on them, so they shoot.
