The United States has the absolute best routines in this area in the world and is a role model on how to enforce rules and protect vulnerable animal species. For example, American alligators were protected for 20 years while building a natural and conscious model for the species' distribution and maintenance operation. Today, there are more than 1 million wild alligators in Louisiana and over 1 million wild alligators in Florida. At the same time, there are over 300,000 alligators spread over more than 50 farms. 10% of all farmed alligators are released every two years. The skin mainly goes to Asia and some to France and Italy as well as Russia. The meat is healthy and tastes properly cooked like a mixture of chicken and shrimp.
