It's actually very good, and not as irresponsible as it sounds - they use farmed gator for eating purposes.

Yes, which is why I don't have a problem with it. If they were wild gators... I would root for the gator.

IIRC, the American alligator is still protected, if not endangered.

Better to eat them than the other way around.

It's actualy surprisingly good. I didn't think it would be, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Besides, it's no worse than eaeting a cow or chicken.

My uncle Larry's brother is a 'gator trapper, with a license from Louisiana to do so, and he only goes after the fully grown males. Ten years ago, 'gator hide was $175 per sq. foot. The average 'gator is about 8-10 feet long, some as long as 13 feet. Great for boots. Take that, PETA!!

Oh, and yes, he also uses the meat and donates the skeletons to various schools and museums, so no part of the 'gator is wasted...
That reminds me of another Chuck Norris joke: When Steven Segal kills a ninja, he just takes the hide. When Chuck Norris kills a ninja, no part of the ninja is wasted.

You know, it's really easy to go mudslinging against PETA because they can be so belligerent and holier-than-thou. I understand the animosity towards them, but I don't like to see a good cause come under fire because of who supports it.

I understand what you're saying, Grundig, but some of these clubs are considered extremist, and even borderline terrorist by the FBI, such as the Sierra Club. Their intentions are noble, and I hate when people neglect or abuse their animal companions, but their methods are insane.

Yeah, but also remember that everyone and their brother was labeled as a terrorist organization by the Bush administration. A lot of the "extremist" groups aren't that bad. Everyone just takes what the government says for granted (and yes, I include the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of the government).

I don't think the animosity that's been seen against PETA or other such organizations is really directed agaisnt their ends (save for their proselytization toward veganism in diet and dress) so much as their means.
