During the British rule of India there were far too many cobras in Delhi. To combat this problem, the British Government offered a bounty to the local Indians, telling them they would pay them for every dead cobra they brought in. Initially, the program was a success. The Cobra population in Delhi was decreasing and people were making money. But somehow the number of dead cobras being turned in every week stayed consistent. And that was because some entrepreneurial Indians started setting up Cobra Farms in their homes to make a little extra cash on the side. The British Government found out about the Cobra Farms, so they canceled the Cobra Bounty and stopped paying for dead cobras. So the Indians shut down their Cobra farms and let their cobras go free in the streets, resulting in there being significantly more cobras in Delhi than before the program started.
