I keep a couple golf clubs handy by the back doors for those pesky Opossum’s. They drive my dogs crazy and I can practice my drive because they just stand still and hiss.

Just take the carcass to any convenient dumpster and drop off.

“...what we’re doing is blunt force...”

Very scientific.

We should try it with politicians.

The bottom line is, iguanas are just not as cute as baby seals...

We had a possum getting on our barbeque grill at night. Would not leave. I poured a bowl of cold water on him and he took off. Never to return.

Golf club would probably work pretty well on Iguanas too. :-)

#2: "most of our problems here in the US could be solved with this."

This is the way the pros handle an invasive species.

I lived in Ft. Lauderdale in the late 70’s early 80’s.

At that time, iguanas were the ‘cool’ pet to have. I knew some people who had one.

What the people didn’t know was they would escape very easily, and did.

Now, 35 years later, iguanas are everywhere.............................

They should train the iguana’s to covertly go after the python’s in the Everglades.

Every cold spell they fall out of the trees by the hundreds, and the pythons die as well.

But what is left can withstand the next cold spell more easily..................

Now they come for the iguanas... next they’ll come for the Burmese pythons. Or, so one hopes.

I wonder if this method has ever been tried in Tijuana?

Kinda like liberals from the 60s.
Seriously, this is an example of how the government solves problems - stupidly.
Only a government official could call this humane.
The most humane way to kill them is with CO2 gas. They just go to sleep and not wake up. Then you can use the meat for food.

We used to go to Manzanillo Mx and stay at Las Hades. It’s an iguana sanctuary. Huge iguanas. They scared the crap out of me. They shuffled around everywhere and they really liked laying under the pool chaises. I’d be laying by the pool and hear one coming and jump up and move to another chair. No one else seemed bothered by them. Lol
