Rats because they carry diseases, prairie dogs because of the holes that caused problems for carts and horses, beavers because of the dams causing irrigation problems or flooding, rabbits because of their rapid reproduction and damage to crops, mongooses as harmful fauna introduced by man, Tanukis due to damage to farms, feral pigs.
Although I don't know if squirrels have been eliminated en masse due to problems with human activities.
I clarify that not all of them maintain this status since intensive hunting has led some of these species to extinction.
