Lake Worth City Commission meeting tomorrow night: DZ, the Monitor Lizard, and CATS!

You can look at the agenda for tomorrow's meeting here (Tuesday, 4/21). Some interesting things are moving the floating docks closer to the boat ramp (about time) and designating the ficus trees in the Cultural Plaza as "historic"; that should be interesting.

Of course what everyone is talking about is what DZ is going to say. DZ, as well as many others, are concerned about the feral cat population. It's a terrible problem in some parts of the city. As soon as the news hit about the Monitor Nile lizards eating feral cats some reacted with horror; some saw this as an opportunity.

On an entirely different topic Mr. John Schrade of Port Saint Lucie had a Letter to the Editor published in the Palm Beach Post titled, "Use rabbits to bait pythons, lizards"; here's an excerpt:

     Over the past several months, there has been much talk about the Burmese python crisis. Recently, there also has been talk about the Nile monitor lizard. I think an opportunity has been missed here.
     There was also a study where rabbits were fitted with tracking devices. None of the rabbits was found, but many of the devices were found in the pythons. Solution: Have many many rabbits neutered, then fitted with the tracking devices. (Neutered, so they don’t just feed the the snakes with their offspring.)

Not trying to give you any ideas DZ!
