> Starting this month, Fussa city in Tokyo is handing out gift certificates worth ¥500 for the eradication of 10 red-necked longhorn beetles, which measure 2–4 centimeters in length and have antennae as long as their bodies. In Saitama Prefecture’s Kawajima town, people can earn ¥100 for eliminating just one beetle.

The thing with these schemes is usually it's not enough for people to bother OR it encourages them to only meet a quota and leave enough to pick up for another day. Maybe it'll work better in a civilized nation

Pull the old pajeet trick, captivity breed them and release them into the wild when the feds click on to your scam

None of these schemes to get the public to destroy a species ever worked. The only thing it accomplishes is satisfying the pent up sadism of normalfags and getting a bunch of look-alike species killed in the crossfire.
