How much did THAT cost the taxpayer?
2 sets of boots? wth, nothing better to do with em?
I can't imagine it was too much, it's not like dead alligators are hard to source in Louisiana or a boat that'll get you out in the Gulf of Mexico.
I'd rather some tax money be spent on something like this that'll let us learn about the world around us than giving it to some welfare rats so they can buy steak and Mad Dog 20/20.
Westbrook - my very first thought too. Some inane grant and some idiot gets it. From US. To do THIS!! It’s gotta stop.
Probably cost next to nothing. These people are out in the gulf anyway doing regular checks of the ecosystem as part of their charter with the state. The people involved are already being paid through other sources. The carcasses were probably provided for free from the DNR.
so let me understand this. A dead aligator was placed on the ocean floor.... and it was eaten?
so what.
