MIAMI (AP) - A nine-foot alligator that blocked traffic on a
South Florida highway will end up on the menu and on store shelves.
The gator was sold to All American Gator Products for $280. The
processing facility's owner says the gator's meat will be breaded
and deep-fried for the menus of two Dania Beach restaurants. Its
hide will be turned into designer shoes and wallets and its bones
will be used to make soap. Its feet can be turned into a back
scratcher, and its teeth could become earrings.
A Broward Sheriff's deputy tried yelling at the gator yesterday
morning to scare it back into a canal. But the reptile wouldn't
budge. A county trapper eventually captured the gator.
County officials say All American Gator Products is usually
where large nuisance gators end up. The facility processes about
2,000 alligators a year, including about 100 deemed nuisances and
threats to public safety.

Not sure..... but that chicken is probably very happy that gator did not cross the road. lol

I find it very interesting that the Colonel, the founder of Wendy’s and the founder of Popeye’s are all gone now.  Could it be a conspiracy?  Is it true that vegetarians held secret meetings around a salad bar in Dallas shortly before each death?  They were all such young men in their 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and poof they are suddenly gone!  Hmmmmm………

That sounds a little lousy!  Poor gator just wanted to cross the road, but now he will be a purse and a meal on a stick!
