Studies by CSU San Bernardino's "Gator Gang" discovered a proliferation of cardiomyocytes surrounding wounds to alligator hearts post-injury. Researchers are studying alligator's regenerative abilities for potential human application. #AB1561 @SenToniAtkins @SenatorLeyva

1000s of Californian families have pets with allergies to common pet food. Novel ingredients like alligator meat help address adverse food reactions but without #AB1561, families and their pets will lose access to alternative proteins. @SenToniAtkins @SenateHertzberg @BenAllenCA

Many dogs (& cats!) suffer from food allergies to types of protein commonly used in pet food production. Alligator meat is used in specialty pet foods and well tolerated by pets sensitive to other proteins. #AB1561 @SenToniAtkins @BenAllenCA @Portantino @SenatorLeyva @ilike_mike

@julesandfurries @c_afor @IUCN @JVM @CrystalDeBallin @Noahpinion @NickSackett @otepofficial Actually... We are helping the crocs and gators. And it’s scientifically documented by the leading ecologists, biologists, and climate change authorities worldwide. Take a read. @LDWF @iucn @IUCNSULi @UNEnvironment https://t.co/vTNmZeGZ0t

Breeds more commonly seen with a food allergy include German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Boxers and Pugs. A high-quality protein from alligator may help ease the symptoms that dogs with food sensitivities may experience. #AB1561 @SenToniAtkins @SenateHertzberg @BenAllenCA

The animal welfare practices utilized by the alligator & crocodile industry were devised by the American Veterinary Medical Association & World Organization for Animal Health (https://t.co/18ErArD5AS). #AB1561 @SenToniAtkins @BenAllenCA @SenateHertzberg @ilike_mike @SenatorLeyva

Conservation biologist Grahame Webb @IUCN, "Without sustainable farming, marshes get converted to other productive purposes. Incentive-driven conservation is unequivocally demonstrated around the world & relies upon ensuring the economic viability of alligator products." #AB1561

The IUCN Red List is an easily & widely understood system for classifying species into 9 categories of risk for global extinction.

The American Alligator is categorized as "Least Concern."

Alligator meat provides a lean, protein-rich, novel ingredient source for dogs suffering from adverse food reactions... alligators are not harvested for the pet food industry but use assures full utilization of the animal. #AB1561 @SenToniAtkins @Portantino @BenAllenCA @hertzieLA

"CITES works. Regulated and sustainable trade works. Crocodiles were listed in 1975, in response to severe depletion. The crocodile industry is now worth over $100m a year, the illegal trade has all but vanished and crocodiles are far more abundant than they were 50 years ago."

Sustainable conservation works! The American alligator is the greatest success story in the history of environmental conservation. #AB1561 @SenToniAtkins @Portantino @BenAllenCA @SenateHertzberg @LorenaSGonzalez

Sustainable conservation includes the ability to promote environmental stewardship that helps prevent habitat destruction and wildlife extinction through the regulated trade of plant and animal products.
