Cold weather and invasive lizards

To the editor:

Any time it is cold, why not organize 50-plus pickup trucks to grab all the exotic lizards on the islands and clear them away for good?

Paying a fee for every lizard turned in is a lot cheaper than dragging this out.

Police, fire and all departments can be out doing this, as well.

Street smarts mobilize it. Opportunity created by weather gets it done.

Announce it in the media. Create a campaign in 15 minutes and blast it on the news.
