In Argentina, the authorities declared war on capybaras (4 photos + 1 video)
In recent years, capybara numbers have increased dramatically in some areas of the country, causing problems. 
In recent years, capybaras have infested Nordelta, a wealthy city north of Buenos Aires, Argentina. To prevent further reproduction, local authorities have come up with a controversial plan to give the rodents contraceptive drugs. At the same time, some individuals are planned to be forcibly sterilized 
In Nordelta (Argentina), capybaras are reported to regularly "fight among themselves, fight with dogs in private gardens," which leads to traffic accidents. 
With no predators or hunters in the city, the animal population is rapidly increasing. According to some reports, their number has already exceeded 1,000 individuals.
To calm the disgruntled city residents, the authorities decided to selectively sterilize the animals. However, this caused a lot of controversy, local animal rights activists even created the movement "Capybaras of Nordelta - we are your voice". According to its representatives, instead of forced sterilization, capybaras should be protected reserves, where they will "coexist in their own natural space".
