Yup, once the excitement of seeing the animals wears off, I feel guilty. A couple hours of fun, and then a lifetime of guilt. Sigh.

I keep thinking about that poor alligator that was forced to pass out for our entertainment. And not just once, but twice. Although I don't know for sure, I would think that it would be unhealthy for one's heart and brain to repeatedly pass out. The reptile guy said that placing your hand over their eyes causes their blood pressure to drop so much that they pass out. It passes out, the audience roars with laughter, he gives the alligator a shake to wake it up, and then he makes the alligator pass out again, and the audience roars even louder. -Shannon
