Go buy yourself a pellet gun with a scope on it they're $187 and shoot your own no crime about shooting iguanas
This is city property. We pay property taxes for the city to take care of city property that benefits or is supposed to benefit its' citizens.
Do you think it should just be neglected? It's a huge problem.
@9:24...who are you posing your question to?
Why would anyone think the city should neglect its responsibilities?
The Cultural Plaza looks like Jurassic Park!
The SOLUTION is... Get many of the South American restaurants incentivized... to pull out their recipes for serving Iguana dishes....AND then sell commercial hunting licenses to people that complete a "safe iguana hunting" course (how not to shoot people or
pets in the neighborhood)...Have contests for the best dishes/ best restaurants..and media press.
Then, just as with our Hog Snapper fish ...local demand at restaurants, WILL rapidly deplete the iguana population.
Problem solved 😁.
