If there is an eager market for armadillo all the while a concern over the safety of the meat, why not start an armadillo farm?I suspect that any such eager market is a small market.

I was invited for a visit last year by somebody who works there. I actually met one of the former internees (an elderly black gentlemen) who was one of the patients who opted to stay, and still does some odd jobs around the museum and who makes himself available to researchers for interviews.
It's odd, because while I was there, there were photos from a leprosarium in Hawaii, and that triggered long buried memories of my aunt, a retired Army nurse, who had talked about visiting the Hawaiian leprosarium when I was a little kid. After visiting I tried to find more stuff online to read about it, but it's a phenomenon for which there is very, very little info available out there.

Armadillos have a survival mechanism where when the see a shadow spread over them they jump as high as they can. This works for hawks but not so good when you try to straddle them on the roadway. Little known fact.

This has been an accepted wives tale for as long as I can remember.
Nothing new, move along, oh and have one for me. ;)

Look up Father Damien (Now St. Damien) of Kalaupapa on Molokai. This may be what you aunt talked about.

From the tone of the posts here, I think the concept of a Leper Colony is joining polio in the history books. Good place for them.

LOL!
SSS works real well around my neck of the woods. They never make it to the highways.
