Blue Iguanas MURDERED @ the QE II Botanical Park

[BMorrison]

That is horrible and I absolutely HATE people that would deliberately hurt an animal. SEEING RED!

[STORMS]

Words can't even begin to describe how sad that makes me. Defenseless animals, why? It makes no sense. Sick twisted SOB's. Eye for an eye. Wouldn't that be nice?

[frankykeno]

How incredibly, incredibly sad. I cannot imagine what the staff have gone through and will go through trying to deal with the absolutely senseless loss.

[OhBalls]

It's stories like this that really break my heart. Unfortunately, they'll probably get away with it. This just leaves me speechless.

[edie]

Thats terrible. And I don't feel bad at all in saying that hopefully something traumatic happens in the people who killed these animals lives, at least then maybe they can feel the same pain that the people who cared for those animals feel. I don't have any sympathy for people who can just do something like that, imagine what else they are capable of.

I just made a donation to them, it kills me that I can't do more to help right now.

Disgusting, thats all that is needed to say.

Folks, please - and I am asking YOU, as a personal favor, PLEASE - take a moment to drop a line to the people working so diligently on this project:

Leave a comment on Myspace

E-mail researcher Fred Burton & send him your condolences/kind words.

Donate to the IRCF. Whatever amount you can possibly spare (they do accept Paypal!) will help to fund their efforts to rebuild this critically endangered population of blue iguanas. Keep in mind that they are in a remote, relatively undeveloped area. Every little bit counts!

It doesn't matter how you contribute, whether verbally, financially or both...please get in touch with these people and let them know that the herp community is pulling for them!!!! Think of how much you'd be hurting if you lost the animals in your collection...put yourself in the place of these researchers & fellow herpers who have had a very big piece of their life's work literally stomped to death by absolute scum.

Please take a moment to let them know that they're not all alone in putting the pieces back together, in the face of this horrible, disgusting tragedy.

Please.

I'm going to do what I can to help, Kara. I know how something like this feels. This absolutely disgusts me to no end to know people will/do actually do things like this. Endangered or not; it's just plain wrong!

[munding]

psycho!!!! i hope karma gets those ppl.. man... i would love to beat them up with a padlock. or atleast cut off a hand or feet using a blunt blade...or cattle brand their faces..yeah. that would be fun. well i hope they get caught real soon.

my condolences on the iguanas.

Calm down with the threatining of the people.
You're becoming the same as them.
