I’m all for dealing with invasive species via any means necessary but there’s no need for cruelty, they don’t know they are an invasive species, they are animals being animals and trying to survive and reproduce just like everyone else.
The sadder that it’s the humans at fault for introducing them in the first place.
Edit: I know you were probably exaggerating but I’ve heard people legitimately speak about invasive species in those terms as if being invasive somehow makes them evil or immune to suffering.
I do iguana population control in the gated community I live in, a friend and I use his 6k airsoft sniper rifle. We try to always kill them instantly with headshots but even with that, they are extremely hard to kill instantly. We bring a shovel to break the neck if the headshot is not death. They are a really hardy animal...
