Ask Congo River Golf to stop abusing alligators


Ask Congo River Golf to stop abusing alligators
The Issue
Orlando, Florida is notorious for animal exploitation from Sea World and Dicovery Cove to the many zoos and reptile parks. Orlando is also well known for alligators and features Gatorland amongst many other alligator parks. What people may not be so familiar with is mini-golf courses that lure tourists with the chance to see and feed real live alligators. As enticing as this may sound it is nothing more than cruel. These alligators are kept in tiny pits consisting of shallow water holes and small streams. They are enclosed by wire mesh fencing either side, giving them very little space to move around. These living quarters are packed full of dozens of alligators that have nothing to do all day but sit and be taunted by tourists. The tourists are allowed to feed the alligators using wooden fishing rods, capped with metal hooks which is not only provokes the alligators but makes their whole lives a misery. Imagine having to sit in the same position each day while you watch cruel tourists force a hook in to your mouth all for their own pleasure. This method of feeding the alligators and the small size of their living quarters must be stopped or at the very least improved. One of the major Gator mini gold courses in Orlando and Florida is the Congo River Golf company. This petition will be targeting all 9 of the Congo River Golf bussinesses located in Orlando and the rest of Florida.
