Catch 'em all? How about kill 'em all?

Dubai - Power utilities ask cyber-security firm to exterminate Pokemon in dangerous areas

Apparently, there's another way of making money aside from letting people catch Pokemon - by exterminating 'em.
Cyber-security firm LookingGlass has been tasked by Florida power utility companies to "kill" off the virtual creatures.
The reason? Fairly simple: Players of Pokemon GO - especially those who have laser-focus on trying to catch 'em all - tend to wander off into private properties and near power-utility equipment. We don't need to explain how dangerous that might be - no matter what stunt you're trying to pull off.
So far over the weekend, eight utilities have hired LookingGlass to remove the game code in areas that are restricted. The cyber-security firm's team sends the coordinates to Pokemon GO maker Niantic Labs, asking the virtual critters to be taken off.
No figures were released on how much annihilating Pokemon would cost, but LookingGlass CEO Chris Coleman seems to be looking forward to it.
"We're now in the business of killing Pokemon," he said
Coleman also said that LookingGlass is in a "unique position" to do so. Why? Because he's friends with Niantic Labs board director Gilman Louie. (That should make it easier, no?)
Moral of the story? Stay away from dangerous areas - unless you want to end up like this, this or this.
