Officials at Saguaro National Park in Arizona are embedding microchips in thousands of Saguaro cacti because bootleggers, landscapers and homeowners are stealing them. The giant cacti, which can grow up to 50 feet, can sell for $1,000 on the green market. The cacti is so vital to the culture of the area around Saguaro Nation Park, that local school children have a new playground chant:
Cactus in your eye!
Don’t cry!
Will be fixed
with a microchip!
