If You're Going to Eat an Endangered Species, Don't Post the Pictures on Facebook

Facebook has cost many a job due to pictures involving booze, boobs or boobs covered in booze, but this has to be a first. A couple vacationing in the Bahamas was arrested this Monday after posting pictures of themselves barbecuing an endangered species of iguana. I kid you not.


According to police the pictures showed them "catching an iguana, parts of an iguana on a grill, two men eating the iguana pieces, and a man and a woman cleaning what appears to be undersized conch."


The two were arrested on the Fisheries Regulations and the Wild Animal Protection Act.


The photos ended up in the hands of Bahamian authorities, who tracked down the suspects and arrested them, the article said.


The iguanas are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.


Eating an iguana, a conch? I had no idea that the Bahamas was like the Lord of the Flies. And it’s funny, because you know that it was one of their friends that turned them in. I don’t think the police just go randomly trolling facebook to make sure that no one is eating endangered iguanas.


The moral of the story here? Don’t be Facebook friends with PETA members. That being said, I’m off to go have a delicious white tiger steak seasoned in bald eagle.
