Alligator Wrestling

This is me showing people how the Seminole Indians freed their hands to tie an alligator's mouth shut. I don't support alligator wrestling at all. It can do a lot of harm to the alligators. Wrestling alligators can cause them to die in a short amount of time and I have seen that happen with alligators that have been used a lot. The place this photo was taken at circulates their alligators so they don't get too damaged. A lot of people don't really care what happens to alligators because they aren't endangered or going extinct but I am sure that it matters to that single alligator. But by showing people these animals in captivity, it can make them understand their purpose in the wild. See a lot more of my herpetology photographs and stories at my website (www.snakeman1982.com).
