Like most things endless debate. It is amusing t me that people see cardinals as good and crows as bad. I too am guilty. The other day I saw a huge rabbit. Cute, brown with white tail. They do a tremendous amount of damage. Same is true of squirrels. It is a rat with a fuzzy tail. If they gnaw into your attic the damage can be very expensive.

I've heard rumors that Marrier toads have been seen in the villages. They are huge toads, brought in as pets many years ago. They secret a poison on their skin. Enough to kill a cat or small dog. Someone thought they were cute. They are apparently moving north. Will iguanas be next?
