Repticon Country Gator Exhibit

The Repticon shows that I've gone to here in Tampa and Orlando seem to always have a booth where young alligators are dressed up in "country" type, hillbilly clothes and put on display. This booth always has a 3 or 4 foot gator, strapped into a child size rocking chair, and wearing a stupid dress and a bonnet. This is for the amusement of non-reptile people, I guess. They can take pictures of this poor creature, and pose next to it. The animal's legs are strapped to the chair. It isn't being injured, but still...every time I see this it really bothers me.

This would bother me as well. It's kind of sad to know the organizers of the show permit this.

Hmmm= I've never seen that. You should write to the promotor- he's a nice guy. The only gator displays I've ever seen at Repticons have been educational.
