You know that is good thinking.
I ask Grok and it is not to promising.
It appears that democrat over regulation and lack of organization are the issues preventing the chicken of the trees from being eaten alot.
Could the cold weather stunned iguanas being picked up in florida be given to homeless shelters to cook for food for the homeless.
No, the cold-stunned iguanas being picked up in Florida are not realistically being (or likely to be) given to homeless shelters for cooking and feeding the homeless. Here's why, based on current practices and realities in Florida as of early 2026.
Green iguanas are an invasive species in Florida, and during cold snaps (like the recent one in late January/early February 2026), they become "cold-stunned" — temporarily paralyzed and falling from trees due to low temperatures. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) issued a temporary executive order allowing people to collect and transport live cold-stunned green iguanas (without a permit) to designated FWC drop-off sites. There, they are humanely euthanized or sometimes transferred to permitted individuals (e.g., for live sale or control purposes). Hundreds were dropped off during this event, with no reports of them being redirected to food programs.
While iguana meat is edible and consumed in some cultures (often called "chicken of the trees"), and some Floridians hunt, process, and eat them (or even make things like iguana pizza during cold snaps), there are significant barriers to using these specific stunned iguanas for homeless shelters:

Health and safety risks — Wild iguanas commonly carry Salmonella and other bacteria/parasites. Proper handling, slaughter, inspection, and cooking are required to make the meat safe, but these collected animals are often euthanized en masse by wildlife officials without food-grade processing. There's also a risk of poisoning (though illegal, some nuisance iguanas are poisoned before collection).
No organized donation pathway — Collected iguanas go to FWC for euthanasia or permitted uses. There's no evidence or program routing them to shelters, food banks, or charities. Some individuals eat them personally, but not on a scale for donation.
Logistics and regulations — Food for homeless shelters must meet strict health codes, USDA/FDA guidelines for meat, and sanitary processing standards. Wild reptiles don't fit standard supply chains. Homeless services focus on donated or commercially sourced food (e.g., canned goods, prepared meals) rather than exotic wild game.
Practical issues — The iguanas are often in varying states (some dead, some reviving), requiring immediate humane handling. Processing large numbers into safe, palatable food would need specialized facilities, which aren't in place for this.

In summary, while the idea could theoretically help control an invasive species and provide protein, it doesn't happen in practice due to safety, regulatory, and logistical hurdles. Some people do eat iguanas they hunt themselves, and the FWC encourages humane removal of the invasive species, but mass donation to shelters isn't occurring or feasible based on how these cold-stunned iguanas are managed.

strange how this "8" degrees this morning did not feel nearly as cold as 26 or so the other day.

I know what you mean. It's in the low 50's here. In the 40's tonight. Winter is here.

Yes me too

I prefer a dry Pinot Noir

I mean cheap as in it is a low class Walmartian grain beverage. I’m not going to call it beer, because it is not beer.

Calling is “beer” is like calling a Yugo a “car."

Some people, mostly teenagers, think that’s a normal flavor for American lagers.

Skunk beer is beer that is either old or has been exposed to heat or light. Think Miller High Life in the clear bottles.

Not all Continental lagers are immune to that, either. Pilsner Urquell in the green bottles gets skunky after a while.

Personally I like Modelo.

Rainer for me. AKA ( R-B-GOOD, VITAMIN-R)

my dad found a snake stuck in a Budweiser can many years ago, dead out in the woods. He has called Budweiser snake poison every since.

Me either.

She still refers to me as a "cunt" and her lackey calls me a "bitch" but I'll be damned if I will call them anything as vile. Like some members say, appeal is beyond physical beauty it is about the confidence and attitude projected. I dunno, feed me peanuts and call me Dumbo but their damn attitudes scream "gutter rat".

Hotpussy was the first person to welcome me to the site. You were the second and Lix was the third. Three ladies with very strong personalities. Imagine my disappointment when I found out you three are in a constant war. What I said to Mr CC54 applies to other members too. As I said Hotpussy is special to me and it pains me that she can be so sweet with one person and so crude with another. That's why I posted, in her forum, how I felt about the way she referred to you. I don't want to know the reasons for either of you to be mad at each other. I am not a peace maker. I just think that civility can be a part of your arguments.
