To kill an iguana: Is it really legal to just walk around and shoot them?
Briefly

In a Boca Raton neighborhood, residents like Rosanne Catanzaro voiced concerns after witnessing a man with an air gun targeting invasive iguanas. Although legal, the methods employed for control, especially in residential areas, sparked debate over humane treatment and safety. Florida law prohibits the relocation of these pests, raising questions about the efficacy and ethics of extermination methods. Local discussions around this issue reveal community anxiety over wildlife management practices and the legality of using air guns in populated neighborhoods.
It turns out the man was there because of an issue that Catanzaro herself had brought up to her property management company - hoards of invasive iguanas.
Yes, it is legal to kill iguanas humanely in Florida, but many neighbors still raise questions: What does 'humanely' mean?
