Abandoned Alligators: A Different Kind Of Homeless

 

Oh, Tennessee. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is now euthanizing the alligators that they capture within state borders, stating that they don’t have the resources to keep all of their scaly guests on board for life. It’s illegal to possess or import alligators in good ol’ TN, but many of our neighbors in the South don’t have this restriction. We used to send captured gators packing back to Florida, but they put an end to the exchange program when Florida realized that they had enough gators on their own. 

We’re kind of waiting for PETA to swoop down upon us at any moment.

  • I wish Peta would swoop down. That is an incredibly tragic way to end the lives of these poor majestic creatures.

    Sounds like Nashville has the same problem with alligators and the homeless. One way ticket out of town.
