{"product_id":"tess-omalley","title":"Tess O'Malley- American Alligator Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese ceramic earrings are made of 3 separate charms to represent an alligator surfacing on the water. The colors are more imaginative rather than realistic because my fascination with these apex predators began when I started to have recurring dreams of them a few years ago. Since then, I’ve always held a certain level of respect for a species that has remained relatively unchanged over millions of years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSales of this unique wearable artwork will benefit Bellowing Acres, an alligator and exotic animal sanctuary in Florida.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBellowing Acres is a safe haven for alligators that would’ve otherwise been unjustly euthanized. With the state population of Florida growing exponentially every day, the expedited land development displaces alligators closer to human-inhabited areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlligators are opportunistic hunters; when ignorant people feed alligators or bring their kids\/pets near the water, an alligator will instinctively pursue easy pickings. Even if an alligator is simply basking in the sun and a person feels threatened enough to call the police, the authorities are legally required to euthanize the animal - unless a trapper is available to bring the animal to a rescue. This dynamic unfortunately results in eight thousand alligators getting destroyed by the state annually. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChris \u0026amp; Gabby work to educate the public every single day about co-existing with these apex predators, and they ensure every alligator at Bellowing Acres has a spacious, fully natural enclosure to assist in maximizing their quality of life in captivity.
