Raccoons are on the list for causing damage to farm products, Java mongooses for eating protected species in the Okinawa area and three species of monkeys due to fears they will breed with Japanese monkeys, they said. Nutrias, Reeve's muntjacs and some kinds of squirrels and foxes will also be prohibited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
