It is with tremendous sadness that I post this.

The Blue Iguana Recovery Program has been updated with the official press release.

We mourn the loss of Sara, Jessica, Digger, Pedro, Eldemire and Yellow.

I don't know what to say in response to the article. Why anyone would mercilessly kill any animal is beyond my comprehension. Hopefully the program has enough other lizards to continue their breeding program.

Pedro

And Jessica - how I will remember them (photos taken in Nov 2007).

I can't believe this has happened. All my thoughts go out to everyone on Grand Cayman

So horrible in so many ways, it is amazing how bad some humans can be, it reminds me of the Gallops getting hacked up because of the fishing limits put on the islands. I wonder if there was a reason for the attack? I hope they find out who was responsible. I would like to know who did it and pay him a visit. KB

That makes me sick. I hope the Caymans have tough penalties for such a crime and the SOB gets what he deserves.

one more has died, but one other is doing much better. Nobody has been caught yet. When they do I am flying out to personally do the punishing.

Can I join you? I want to "rear naked choke" that bastard till he passes out! Then Jeff, you can hack at his arms with a machete. Did I say that? I'm sorry, I got wrapped up in the moment.

Yes you can join in the fun! EVERYONE is invited!!!

The responsible parties should be beaten, tortured, and killed!

manny May 21, 2008 09:34 PM

Although I would like to torture and beat them myself. The person(s) that did this should be placed naked, in a small room full of angry Similis' and let the lizards have their way with them! Can you say KARMA? If they catch them I have the lizards.
