Tina’s departure was particularly difficult for humane society staffer Richard Farias. Like the residents of Pasadena, Tina is now bringing much joy and excitement to many more people in Los Angeles. She is now sharing a large space with another alligator named Reggie. While we all know it is best for gators to be in the wild that was not in the cards for Tina because of her years in captivity. Tina’s move to the zoo last year was bittersweet for many and the Humane Society received hundreds of comments from people telling us how much they would miss her and acknowledging their sense of loss. Many even felt like she was THEIR pet alligator and had fond childhood memories of visiting her at the Humane Society. Tina was somewhat of a local celebrity with Pasadena residents. Rescuing her 18 years earlier from conditions of squalor, the Humane Society catered to her every-alligator need helping her survive and thrive for years. They made a positive impression on everyone as they jumped right in and became part of the alligator hunting team! Their actions, great attitudes, and enthusiasm ensured that WWH will be given the opportunity to hunt alligators next year.Almost a year ago, Tina the alligator was moved from the Pasadena Humane Society to the Los Angeles Zoo. I would also like to thank our three veterans, Darrel Lewis, Clint Norwood and Jacob Billiot. Reggie and his helper Mike for taking the time to share their knowledge and making this a memorable event for our veterans.

It was fast and furious, but fun as we didn’t know what size alligator would be in the next line! Once we got back to the camp, we cleaned it, washed dishes, packed and headed back to the “cooler” to load up three trophy alligators that were going to be skinned for the veterans. The final day started with a big alligator on the first line and continued like that until all the lines were ran.

The veterans swapped stories, relaxed, tore into a mess of pork ribs and went to bed early. When the day ended we loaded the boats on trailers and headed back to the camp.
