Okay, hear us out: we love animals. No, really, we do.

Now, do we love hunting? Of course, we do! Do we love fishing? You bet your best pole we do!

All of that said, there are some animals we love to see gone forever.

But there's a good reason

We can see the emails coming now: "Don't you know what wiping out a species can do to the ecosystem?!"

We're not scientists or experts, but we have a basic understanding of the domino effect wiping a species out would cause. But, what if there was no ecosystem to protect?

We're not here to tell you what to feel or think but wouldn't you agree that an animal destroying your environment has to pay for their crime? Sure, you could argue that we weren't here first but that's neither here nor there.

The fact of the matter is seven creatures are invading Idaho and they must be stopped.

Here's your warning though, at first glance, you might not believe some of the animals we're looking at need to be wiped out, like the snapping turtle for example.

Snapping turtles are among the most adaptive species on the planet and when released into the wild by their former owners, their resilience unleashes carnage in the ecosystem.

Here are seven animals we would be okay with being wiped out of Idaho for good.
