I thought everybody knew that you can
only ship 19 inch alligators!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Milwaukee Postal Workers Find Live Gator November 15, 2003, 7:35 PM EST MILWAUKEE -- A four-foot alligator chewed its way out of a shipping carton before a postal worker tossed it into a hamper and called animal control officers. Employees were sorting mail Friday when they noticed the alligator chewing its way out of an Express Mail box, said JoAnne Blackburn, a Postal Service spokeswoman. Workers tried to tape the box closed, but the alligator bit it open. "The nose ... was sticking out with its teeth hanging out," said postal employee Jennifer Hejdak. She said a co-worker picked it up by its tail and threw it in a hamper. The alligator remain at a shelter for a week before being shipped to a northern Illinois sanctuary, said Len Selkurt, executive director of the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control. The sanctuary owner will then take it to Florida, he said. Alligators longer than 20 inches are not allowed to be sent through the mail, and officials said the shipment from Milwaukee to Colorado was under review k30a http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...dors/home.html |

Well now we know how he originally got the tiger and the gator in the apt
in first place. What amazes me is/was one could get a tiger cub for the price of most register dogs!!! Yet people can't breed Sugar Gliders (a tropical critter that looks like and is smaller than a chipmunk) without a home inspection and license thru Fish & Wildlife. California doesn't allow them in the state at all, but look at all the wild critters the Hollywood stars have! Why? Because S.Gliders might get loose and eat some of the fruit crop. I guess people eaters are okay. ~ jan Carl wrote One requirement... You must live in an apartment in harlem to get it delivered... chortle!

What if one of those things got loose and ate some actors/actresses? Poor critter would be in seriously bad shape, eating all that plastic and silicon. |

this is blatantly racist. the reality is all the people I have seen on TV trying to
explain how and why their hand raised and tame tigers/pit bulls/rottweilers attacked and killed their own or the neighbor kids were white people. And I might add, from the way they brutalized english were stupid white people. Ingrid .. You must live in an apartment in harlem to get chortle!

Ingrid Hmmmm, not that I want to start a dog fight, but.... watch AP Animal Precinct or Animal Cops sometime, and you'll see multicolors of stupid people. Thus said, don't you think your above statements could also be considered racist, or is it PC to dump on white people, as long as they're stupid and can't speak english well? ;o) ~ jan See my ponds thru the seasons and/or my filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Defrosted~ Tri-Cities, WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |

no, stupid white people is descriptive, calling them stupid white trash is
pejorative.
