Abstract
- The article reports if Gatorfest which is annually celebrated in Texas is the best way to honor crocodiles. Topics include the impact of Gatorfest on reducing the alligator to a commodity or a symbol of nature conquered and turned into a sideshow attraction, the economic incentives associated with the desire of people to keep alligators around, and the little celebration of the animals contained in the festival.
