 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.

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.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
