It's a very sick world! I wish the article had the name of the store, so we could bombard the bastards with complaints and boycott the store.

Anyone have any idea what store this was?

The ethical disconnect is astounding! The name of the "business" [a furniture store] is not mentioned.ALLIGATORS FED LIVE ANIMALS DURING BUSINESS GRAND OPENINGALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --Part of the celebration of the grand opening of a new business in Los Lunas included an exhibit of real live alligators, but some people who went there said they were shocked that it was a little too real."When we walked up somebody tossed a live bunny into the pool for the alligators to eat," said Amara Heising.Some of the people who were there told Action 7 News it was billed as a family-friendly event with rides and exhibits for the kids, including a couple of live alligators.Heising said she took her 4- and 3-year-old grandchildren to the grand opening expecting some fun, but as the afternoon wore on, things got ugly.'There was a child's playhouse right next to this pool where these alligators were being thrown little bunnies and mice. It was horrible," Heising said.A spokesman for the store doesn't deny that there were live alligators there or that they were fed live critters, but he said precautions were taken to make sure sensitive people didn't see it."We did let the parents know that if you didn't want your children to watch the actual live feeding to please step away. Every time he fed the mice he let them know that this is what we're going to be doing," said spokesman Johnanthony Maldonado.Maldonado said that the reptiles were not fed live rabbits. Still, Heising said the whole event left her angry and not a likely future customer."The fact that they would do that as a promotion for their store seems so bizarre and unthinking to me that it's unreal," said Heising.5 Comments * Why stop at bunnies? Why not dogs and cats? I mean if they want to sensationalize animal cruelty-there you go. As for "they have to eat", there is no reason to have the alligators in the first place. Hopefully there is a God in heaven and the owner will get his entire arms chewed off-now THAT would be entertainment to everybody who obviously loves the blood shows.

My kids are young and did not react at all adversely. It was real alligators doing what alligators do, pure and simple. Apr. 23, 2010 8:42am MDT | from rubikscuber * Yes, it's terrifying when you see an animal act and behave as it would in the wild... /sarcasm Apr. 20, 2010 12:10pm MDT | from cainandabel * Its interesting that we as a society can watch animals consume each other on animal planet, the discovery channel and yet when given the chance to see it live it becomes something "disgusting" . It is obvious that the handler was teaching people about the gators. It is a natural process. I didnt see nothing wrong. Apr. 20, 2010 12:05pm MDT | from extreme505 * The lady failed to state the rest of the story. The event that took place was to benefit children unm hospital, as well helping children of the Del Valle RTC. The event had the animal shelter there to help with adoptions. As a spectator of everything that happened at the event they made sure that the people were aware and that everyone was informed. She turned something that was to benefit the community into something terrible.

For in his blood every drop of their blood turns to poison; in his breath their breath to stink; in his flesh their flesh to boils; in his bones their bones to chalk; in his bowels their bowels to decay; in his eyes their eyes to scales; in his ears their ears to waxy issue. And their death will become his death.-Jesus- [From the Essene Gospels]
