 Researchers are taking a controversial approach as they try to rid Florida of invasive iguanas overtaking residents' yards by bashing in their brains.

A team from the University of Florida is using a captive bolt gun that sends a bolt into the brain, similar to what's used in the livestock industry. They're also smashing the creatures' heads against solid objects to cause blunt force trauma. They've killed 249 so far.

So captive bolt gun to a cows head - not controversial to a Iquana controversial?

 

WTF?

Humans...ugg, do we really need to kill everything?  Horrible.

I get that that are taking over and we are also at fault for letting pets out, but isn't this just natural evolution/species migration, and who are WE to really interfere?    Same for pythons down there and the snakehead fish, I get the reason, but I also wonder if we think we're a little more important than we really are.

Iquana meat sells for more then rat meat - or cockroach meat.

I am not sure why people dont care about a lot of pest control or raising an animal for the sole purpose of killing it with a bolt to its head in a few years but get worked up over the killing of certain kids of animals.

I have several iguanas around my place south of the border. They are unassuming, have little to no fear of humans and are completely harmless, as far as I know. Never heard of an iguana attack on a human who wasn't fugging with the reptile to begin with.

And guess what, with iguanas around, guess what you don't see? Large insects, mice (although iguanas are generally herbivores and stick to plants, they will dine on a mouse occasionally), etc.

One of my longtime favorites...

Iguana infestations are definitely a first world problem.
