Name of the Article[edit]

Why Alligator farm and not Crocodile and Alligator farm? --Karljoos (talk) 03:19, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's because there are actually more Alligator farms in existence according to the source material available, and Alligator farms definitely existed before Crocodile farms. Steven Walling (talk) 07:05, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is your data for the US or internationally? --41.150.92.84 (talk) 08:15, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes based on Forbes article[edit]

Changing,

"In Vietnam, skinning is performed on still living crocodiles."

to

"In Vietnam, there have been instances of skinning performed on still living crocodiles, due to non-thorough slaughtering practices."

based on the Forbes article cited^[1] doesn't seem to accurately reflect what the source says. Before performing an additional edit to re-insert, discuss here. I'm not convinced the prior text is fully supported. The article was about a PETA video in two crocodile farms, the text strongly suggests the practice is standard or widespread but I am open to finding a better way to contextualize or attribute.
