Is it illegal to cook ‘gators in a croc pot??
Good one, Igor. Tourists can buy croc-burgers or croc steaks around here in tropical Queensland. I’m sure they can get fleeced for similar tucker in the Territory and in W.A., too. And if you want the ultimate interaction with a wild estuarine crocodile, you can get eaten by one, make all your greenie friends green, with envy.
Worked at a mental not-prison that was originally designed to be ‘protected’ from ‘escape’ by the mentally-ill not-prisoners by a moat with, yes, alligators and a surrounding wall of Spanish Bayonet plants, because, of course, no sane person would ever swim a moat full of alligators after pushing through a wall of Spanish Bayonet plants.
Err…
Moats with alligators not good enough. Water moccasins, killer amoeba, mosquitoes and maybe a 16′ double fence (with another 8′ in the ground to keep people from digging down) and topped by razor wire.
Back during WWII there was a POW camp in Arizona that had a perimeter fence of a single strand of barbed wire. When they brought in a batch of new prisoners, they’d get a translator to explain what a sidewinder, a scorpion, and tarantulas were. Then they’d explain that it was forty miles of hot, dry desert to the nearest inhabited place. There were no escape attempts.
