US plan to control Guam's snake population with toxic mice angers Peta

[DeSwiss]

33. The mice ARE ALREADY DEAD.

So they can't become a population of ''toxic mice.''

The mice will be covered with acetaminophen which is toxic brown snakes.

They will be dropped from helicopters with flotation streamers attached to their bodies to catch in the tree tops and avoid being dispersed beyond the trees which is where the brown snake lives.

It is possible to use this approach only because the brown snake is one of the few reptiles that will eat something it hasn't killed itself.

Most of the time I like where PETA comes from as a rule. The human race is horrendous to it's fellow Earthly inhabitants. However, in this case they're wrong. The damned snakes should never have been on the island of Guam in the first place. That was American ignorance that accomplished that. As it now stands there are already several species of bird and small mammal in Guam that are now extinct because of these snakes. link
