I'm going to kill and eat my co-workers pet

Sr Mike, while I appreciate your caring thoughts towards animals you have obviously missed the sarcasm in this thread.

I will not be chaining it to a tree, but is that different than putting a dog on a leash (not animal cruelty last i checked)? it will actually be in a large cage out back. I figured its the best thing I can do for it short of putting a small lake in my backyard for it.

I do still plan on killing 'the bastard' but after talking to somebody on the forum that has raised alligators before I am going to try and get my local vet to put it down with a shot for me. If not he said that at that size a solid slug should put it down easy enough.

I wont own the thing long enough to actually fatten it up, but if you like I'll give it a proper name, let it celebrate a birthday, and maybe let it sign up for an internet dating site before I do kill it.

also, in the picture, which one of them has met steve?
