Alligators Put on Chicken-Free Diet
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
The outbreak of the deadly avian flu virus in Israel is
having an impact not only on poultry farmers, sellers and
consumers, but has even led to dietary changes for the
alligators at Chamat Gader, which are no longer being allowed
to consume chicken according to an Agence France-Presse
report.
The alligator farm at Chamat Gader is home to 200 reptiles,
which will have to make do with beef and fish, at least in
the immediate future.
The alligators do not like cooked food and the strict
warnings the Health Ministry issued against the consumption
of uncooked poultry due to the outbreak of bird flu extend to
alligators as well.
