Angry 6 critically endangered Blue Iguanas killed on Grand Cayman

I'm sad to inform people that last night some broke into the breeding facility in the QE2 botanical gardens, Grand Gayman and killed six of the adult breeding iguanas by apparently stamping on them repeatedly.

Rest in peace Pedro, Yellow, Aldemire, Digger, Sara and Jessica.

For more information (or if you'd like to donate at all) check out Blue Iguana Recovery Program

Thanks for reading

The police there are investigating and have asked for anyone with info to come forward...but its not going to bring them back even if they do catch the

I can't believe it. I worked with all those igs in November when I volunteered there for three weeks and they are such beautiful animals.

Thats absolutely terrible. People constantly find new ways to disgust me; I hope the guys that did this get everything they deserve.
