A bit of advice: If you’re going to eat an endangered species, don’t post pictures of your feast on Facebook.
Vanessa Starr Palm from Illinois and Alexander Daniel from Indiana have been arrested after catching an unsuspecting rare iguana, then roasting the poor little guy on the BBQ on a recent trip to the Bahamas. What the couple failed to realize was that their little snack was actually protected under the Fisheries Regulations and Wild Animal Protection Act. They probably could have gotten away with their lizardy-lunch if they hadn’t posted incriminating photos of themselves catching, cooking, and eating chunks of the doomed iguana. They were each released on $500.00 bail, and will be returning to court. Officials say they could also be potentially charged under US Law when they return.
All I can say is I hope the endagered fella was worth it. Me? I would have just gone with a regular old’ common lizard or something. (Kidding!)
RIP Iguana, RIP. You are in our thoughts.
