South Carolina fears non-native tegu lizards could take root and wreak ecological havoc

Wildlife officials are worried that an invasive lizard species causing problems in at least two neighboring states could now be taking root in South Carolina, with 100 reported sightings in less than four years.
The Argentine black and white tegu, already a problem in Florida and Georgia, has the “potential to be a big issue” if the reptile is able to establish itself in the region, Will Dillman, assistant chief of wildlife for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, told USA TODAY on Tuesday.
Easy. Turn hunters loose on them. Something else to shoot.

You have to be literally retarded to have an invasive lizard problem anywhere in the south. My gawd, hand out bricks of .22 to the boy scouts, make it a merit badge to hit 100.

Like the Eurasion pigeon invasive species in the Southwest, the states admit it is an invasive species, pushing out the native dove species, but will not allow them to be hunted all year round. It is a pretty worthless bird. I have an acquaintance who tried cooking them up every way he could think of, but could never make them palatable.
The state knows there is a problem, but the state refuses to allow the people to correct the problem until it is too late. The wild hog infestations is a classic example of that. Now, it’s gotten so out of control that states are classing wild hogs the same as rabbits for management.

As long as Nimrata Haley and comrade Clyburn are happy.
Brandon did install an affirmative action hire on SCROTUS and Koch Brothers third rate Hillary should walk away with a handsome payday but some people can just never be happy
