Hired To Take Out Monster Invasive Iguanas At Public Golf Course

Hired To Take Out Monster Invasive Iguanas At Public Golf Course. As people might already know Florida is under attack by invasive iguanas. They're everywhere down here. Today, I was hired by a public golf course to take out as many iguanas as I can. Today, I was able to get 3 monster iguanas out of here along with some Egyptian geese.

I'm glad to know that you recycle them into something useful. Dogs do love having a job to do. I wish you all the best, coffee break well spent. Thanks.

[@jakesoros2376]

You have a lot of sheltered chuckleheads nowadays, a natural result of urban/suburban life where people don't explore nature enough to understand what needs to be done to manage the ecosystem.

[@madworld.]

[@CraigArndt]

People are clueless. They don’t know the difference between a rifle and an air gun… all they see is an “assault weapon”, as they are told to think that’s what it is.

[@KantiKane]

yep. cant wait till the bleeding hearts let us do this with the feral cats, theyre the worst

[@spracketskooch]

There is a school of thought that views this as nature just taking its course. New species come in, outcompete the native species, and then we have a new normal. The ecosystem will eventually balance itself. Like with the Panda, if it can't sustain its own existence, then let it die. 99% of all species to ever exist have gone extinct. That is just the brutal way of nature. You may argue that without human involvement these species would never have come here. That is mostly true, but people forget that humans are a part of nature, just like everything else. Termites build mounds, and humans build skyscrapers. Also, horses were once an invasive species in the Americas, now they're a staple of North America. All that said, I'm not saying I am a believer in that line of argument, because I don't know enough about the effects these invasive species have, but I am saying that I can understand the reasoning behind it.

There’s just something absolutely mesmerising about a Hunter and his dog working together . Outstanding work taking care of these invasive species .

[@americanspirit8932]

You should call Animal Control instead of hunting these poor creatures down. They did not ask to be released once they were attacked they thought that would be with their owner forever. Some people need to be a little more humane. Anybody that releases a species like that needs to be find Big Time, Define needs to be so big that when the word gets around they'll think twice. Suggestion any creature that is sold to the public needs to have a chip in it, just like we do with domestic pets such as dogs oh, so if they are released they can be identify from whom purchased it on what date and so forth, and that person needs to be arrested and fined, with a very large amount of money. I guarantee they will never do it again. Do not blame the species for being released they're only doing what they need to do to survive. PS. Anybody selling these creatures or any creature for that matter, needs to be held accountable as well and receive a big fine. Just like they do with weapons guns. It needs to be a National Registry.

[@MrAwesomeSaucem]

@@americanspirit8932 He is effectively dispatching an invasive species that has all but destroyed the native Florida ecosystem. In fact, this kind of work actually saves a lot more animal lives than it harms. If you're so against "selling any creature" I think this stuff should be your last concern...maybe you should be more upset about factory farming etc.

[@MJScoutArchMar]

@@americanspirit8932 Having a national registery for firearms would be the precursor fora confiscation. Unfortunately, there are politicians out there who share the same un American ideas as the one you mentioned. Fortunately, there are millions of good American patriots who would never let that happen.

[@FarmerFpv]

@@americanspirit8932 I'm sorry but Iguanas don't have the same consciousness as humans do. They don't know what an owner is. Animal control would be much harsher than a pellet gun. Most of the time they catch them and beat them with a bat. Your emotions are getting in the way of logical thinking. If you live in a home, own a car, or a cellphone all three of those products kill thousands of animals every year because of habitat destruction. So unless you live in a cave you should worry about your own wrongdoings. Mike is doing the right thing. He is dispatching them as humanly as possible. I'm not sure how you think your food gets to your plate. If you grocery shop you do know that they kill many pests on the farms to protect your food, do they not count? Everything about you is all hypocritical bullsh*t. Also, do you really think they came from the legal animal trade? Most of these evasive came into the country illegally or accidentally by cargo ship. Grow up, the world ain't all peaches and creams. Go do your part. You're fine with telling people what to do but I 100% guarantee you don't do a damn thing to preserve wildlife as hunters do. Your way of thinking is very immature. You're overly emotional which is unhealthy too. Iguanas are not dogs. They have no value to us as dogs do that's why we domesticated them. We have a connection with dogs. Everything about you is hypocritical.

That species you mentioned. I believe you called it a "Karen". You must remember when trying to penetrate the skull with the "common sense" projectile that the skull plate is very thick ! Sometimes even with many doses of commom sense one just cannot seem to penetrate that thick skull. Some find it more effective to just get away from the "Karen" as quickly as possible. This is necessary to preserve your hearing from the loud screeching that these creatures broadcast. Good luck !!!

[@mkohanek]

It really is unfortunate - they are such an invasive species that seem to thrive just about everywhere, though especially near Starbucks and Home Depots.

Also, so it's easier on Otto, there are some doggy ramps out there that'll allow him to get into vehicles. Less stress on his joints for better retrievals on his part. Oh, and what other Iguana controls do is call the cops ahead of time, local office or something, to let them know what you're doing, where you're doing it, and how long you'll be at it. Helps curb the Karens a bit.

They’re trying that with lion fish. Trying to get shark and grouper to eat them. Not sure about the success on that. That’s a big part of the problem with invasives. They find a niche without predators. And then breed like crazy. There are plenty of invasives that don’t present a problem because they do get eaten. But you’re right, a lot of potential predators shy away as they don’t recognize the invasives as potential prey.
