Six Endangered Blue Iguanas Murdered http://www.blueiguana.ky/news.htm
I personally am devastated by this news. I spoke about my recent trip to Grand Cayman at the MacHerps Annual Show. It was only October last year that I spent two weeks volunteering at the Blue Iguana Recovery Program and developed a close bond with Pedro and several other Blues. Pedro is confirmed dead since entrails were found outside his enclosure but his body is still missing.
Currently over $11,000 Cayman Dollars has been offered as a reward for informational leading to arrests.

| | Sponsor | Join Date: Mar-07 Location: Queensland Age/Gender: 28 | | | Here's more info about it from the International Reptile Conservation Foundation - Blue Iguana Recovery Program's partner.
I encourage you all to visit this link and make a donation - anything you can spare and make sure you click the drop down menu to 'Blue Iguana' so the money goes there. They now have to spend money on security measures - that means less money for the iguanas to they need all the financial support they can get! Thanks guys.
I should also point out that the two females killed were only weeks away from laying precious eggs - they too have been lost, a great blow to the conservation effort. However there is still hope with a few adult breeders remaining and juveniles awaiting release into the wild! http://ircf.org/news_bluesmurdered.php Quote:

I truly cannot understand the twisted minds of some people, hope they rot in their very own version of hell.

People that do things like that should be shot.
Hope the persons caught soon before it happens to another animal , Thats where all the serial killers start from hurting defenseless animals then they work there way to people.
