You guys have small feet

Ill take a pair of 14's

 

I would think that it would..... for meat and all your almost going to have to keep it in phamaldhide (sp?)

For just the skin, skin it, turn it inside out, and use Alum or salt on the inside/bottom of the hide.

I would take it to a taxidermist and have it stuffed.

 

as promised...

 

ROFLMAO...

 

Thats ok, Beyond Limits, I agree with you. Don't see where the thrill is to kill something like that. Would be a lot more thrilling to get it to a safe habitat.

 

x2.

 

Poor guy, he was just lost and tought your pond is part of the wild. Anyway, still waiting for a wallet (check binder maybe)

 

haha, well the tail is being processed right now so when they get the meat cut up i will have the whole tail skin, im thinking about mounting the whole thing... and about the wallets, DNR says that you have to burry the body with the DNR tags and skin attatched and the people who want this thing in the zoo, you have apparenty not been to hilton head, there are so many alligators here that they used to relocate them but it was deemed inhumane because the population was getting so large in the relocation zone they were starving and dying slowley.

 

Hmmm, thats what we need to do here in Texas. too many "visitors" are coming to look around and end up staying. We need to do that kill off program so they won't go hungry or die of disease.

 

That sounds inhumane...................... Ok I'm all for it! As long as there is a grandfather clause, of course.

 

Ever wonder why they call it "Tourist Season" when you can't shoot them???



These gator lovers are probably the same people that think possums are cute and cuddly!

 

x3

 

No, they are not cute or cuddly and they stink, but they like living as much as I do. Thats why I rescue an average of 2 possums a week along with frogs, toads, and turtles from my back yard. My Rat Terrier thinks anything that moves in her territory is there to be killed. She usually kills the snakes and lizards before I get out there.

 

In that situation, it was not a thrill kill. It was kill or be killed.
If HHIFX4 hadn't stepped up and elimenated the threat then it would have gotten someone.

By "harrasing" I don't think that he meant that it was just asking everyone for spare change.......

They can run 40 mph for short distance, I belive that's what Steve Irwing said one time, I can't run 40 mph to get away, if I did then it would just be luck. So you know an elderly or a woman carrying baby couldn't either and would get seriously hurt or killed.

There is not a high demand for any native animals at any local Zoo anywhere in the world. So the local zoo's wouldn;t take him and couldn't afford to feed him either. Would have to find another zoo somewhere that happened to be wanting one to take it. Since this situation happens all teh time then the demand and space in zoo's are not there. There is not enough room to put him in the wild becasue it is already over populated, so if they would have called animal control, then they would have just put him down and just thrown the carcass away. This way atleast someone is getting the meat from it. So it wasn't a worthless thrill kill.

Since the likely hood of finding a zoo to take it is slim to non and it is a threat to humans so has to be removed and it is against regulation to release it because that will kill it and probably many others do to the already over populated situation..... Then what is the next option?

 

Good job. Make some gator bites out of the meat.
