I know iguanas are an invasive species in Florida. They can also grow quite large. Admittedly 5 foot vegetation eating lizard can do a lot of damage.
That being said, they are still living creatures who did not ask to be where they are in Florida. If the are loose in Florida it is because we let them loose. Since it is our fault we need to find a more humane solution to the iguana problem.

I am trying to picture how people would go about killing an iguana and it is not a pretty picture. Whatever they do it is going to be cruel. Few people would know how to safely and humanely kill an iguana.
Why can't we round them up and set them up in pens or return them to their native land. Any iguanas I know are sweet and loveable. Even the wild ones are beautiful and we should protect them from abuse.
