Cruelty towards iguanas in Taiwan has prompted the animal rights groups to call for a government crackdown. Cruelty includes acts like stuffing firecrackers in the reptiles’ mouths or shooting them with bows and arrows. According to reports by The Guardian, the Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan (East) said that the local and provincial government campaigns which control the spread of introduced species lacked guidelines that lead to a “chaotic free-for-all at the expense of the welfare of the targeted animals”. ....
