LOL! Believe it or not, I once talked to a woman at a bar who said that she used to do just that, and supposedly the trick is that the actual jaw strength of an alligator when it OPENS it's mouth is quite weak. So, it's just a matter of catching it before it can open it's mouth. (Sort of like the piano, I guess: Just hit the right keys at the right time....)

More animal exploitation. Sad.

Alligator doesnot taste like chicken as many have said..it really tastes like farm raised/fed cat..of course if you limit alligators to a cat only diet they will taste like chicken,go figure

Funny, I somehow missed "farm raised/fed cat" while browsing through the meat section at my local grocery store.

It's usually located next to the dog although sometimes they put it in with the baby seal. Go figure.
