Puerto Rico Proposes Iguana Eradication Plan!
Puerto Rico, plagued by iguanas for years, is taking a violent stand against the ubiquitous reptiles. The government is proposing an iguana eradication project that would both eliminate the long-time nuisances, and bolster the territory’s lackluster economy by exporting the reptiles’ meat for as much as $6 a pound.
The Department of Health approved Galan’s plan to train volunteers to capture live iguanas and bring them to a processing center where they can be killed and prepared for export. The complete plan is expected to be finalized by May, when it will be presented to several government agencies for final approval.
Galan makes a point to emphasize that the iguanas are not native to Puerto Rico (they hadn’t been seen in the wild on the island until the 1970s when owners released them and they quickly bred) and that the animals are harmful to the island.
Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ; ;!! I want to move >_<
