it's generally accepted across various stories that yukkuri are treated like cockroaches/rats unless they're pets.

their natural habitat is in forests by themselves, which is all very well and good, but the ones who don't want to eat bugs and leaves forever tend to try to invade either farmlands or urban environments.

it's a problem in cities especially because they tend to clutter up the environment by begging on the sidewalk (often singing, which is always described as being ear-splittingly annoying), getting squashed underfoot/on roads, ripping open trashbags in alleyways for food, shitting everywhere in public places and parks, all while selfishly demanding people give them sweets or take them in as pets.

and of course, the worst offense is when they try to invade homes directly, often killing actual pet yukkuri they find when the homeowner isn't around.

so even though they have a small degree of intelligence, they're basically seen as vermin for the most part.
