Bonaire locals hate iguanas?

[rayaa3]

Where do you draw the line? Is it ok to step on a cockroach? an ant? swat a mosquito or fly?

it aint about the killing, its about the joy.

I.e. killing with emotional detachment and psychopathic indifference is OK.

Iguanas are native to much of the Caribbean, including Curacao, Bonaire, and Aruba. It's the present human population that are the invasive species. Destroying native creatures because they create problems for things like pools and gardens is reprehensible. Deer frequently damage my trees and plantings by eating them, but I don't mind. They were here first.

While I generally agree, any species that becomes overpopulated (including humans) there are gonna be problems. Where I live, Copperheads are common. Part of the property I grew up on is absolutely infested. My view on killing them changed a bit once I became a parent. And a bit more once I became a grandparent.
