The real story
Some 5,000 scaly green iguanas were removed from southern Florida during the state’s recent frigid temperatures under a two-day exemption that allowed people to capture the cold-stunned reptiles without a permit.

FWC staff coordinated the transfer of iguanas collected to permit holders, including for sale outside the state, while the remainder were “humanely killed by trained staff,” according to the FWS.

Yeah, they are invasive pests that supposedly do a lot of damage to some plants. They took advantage of the freeze to eliminate a bunch of them. And there were few tears.
