NEWS FLASH – May 3, 2008
Six Endangered Blue Iguanas Murdered
http://www.blueiguana.ky/news.htm

I personally am devastated by this news. 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.

    Of course! I’m a member of IRCF and have authored a book on the ecophysiology and captive care of the Central Netted Dragon – an endemic Australia agamid species, he was very helpful on the editing!

    How sorrowful, Shannon. I had to stop reading the description of the brutal slaughter. Mankind know no boundaries. I wish the criminals are apprehended.

    May Pedro and his companions rest in peace in tender remembrance of the nice time spent with you. My sincere condolences.
