Non Native Iguanas Watch Out

Barbaric, in my opinion.

That's just terrible - I used to love watching them scuttle about and climb trees.

How is anyone going to tell the native from the non native?

As it's America and most people have access to guns my guess is they'd probably use them for target practice

The majority of kinds of iguana do prefer to stay above ground level in trees, although obviously the marine iguanas don't, but I can understand why some might opt for going underground if the foliage cover isn't sufficient in the heat. But, on the whole, they are solitary animals (barring the marine ones) so how a single iguana can be blamed for rocking the foundations is beyond me. There are also a lot of animals who will dig underground, so the fact that they're singling out iguanas only highlights their apparent ignorance.

I used to chat regularly in an international chat room and I was amazed by the number of American women in there who owned a gun. That says it all really, in my opinion. Maybe in this instance, they should train the iguanas to handle a firearm because humans do far more damage to the environment (fracking, building etc etc) than animals do.
