Apparently Alligators and Armadillos are adoption options from Calcasieu Parish

Elephant is the oddest one on that list

I wonder if they'll let me borrow that elephant for a day. I have a neighborhood resident that continually walks their 100 lb dog and lets it shite in my yard with out picking it up. I think the elephant is the only reasonable response.

Are there that many bison being abandoned in Louisiana that animal services has to put them up for adoption?

One of you start the rice, the other start a roux. I'll be back from the shelter in about 30 minutes...

I see Emu are available. Do people still farm these birds? One of my aunt's bought a pair of Emu eggs for $25k.. This was 15-20 years ago. She later bought a pair of grown birds. She was able to sell the eggs and as she got more birds, she sold a few. They (her and my uncle) would kill one every once in awhile to make Emu burgers. The sales pitch on these things were that they were going to become the second option to cows. They made some money early on, but ended up having too many of them, they would always get out.. So they ended up putting them all down and got of "the business"..

Anyway, isn't it illegal to own an alligator?

Good story. I've thought about doing this.

I wouldn't recommend it. You would probably be better off adopting an alligator.
