I have always wanted to own an alligator, however I know that eventually one would become far too big for me to handle and take care of safely. I have considered buying a couple at some point down the road and raising them up to about 6' in length before slaughtering and butchering them to put some gator meat in the freezer. Now before anyone jumps out of their socks and calls me a heartless killer, this is no different from buying spring lambs and raising them through the summer only to slaughter them come fall. Most people that do this name their sheep and even play with them, but they always know that someday soon the animal will become food on the table. I love lamb and mutton, and I also love gator, from steaks to sausage to gator boudan. To me this seems reasonable. Given my explanation are there still those out there that would call me a monster? My main reason for asking is to know whether or not I should post about it if I do in fact end up doing it.
However you feel about this, let's please keep the discussion civil.
