Roughly 6,000 alligators are killed each year in Florida during the 11-week public hunting season from August to November. Most end up at one of the states 34 licensed processors. 在佛州每年从8月到11月共11个周的公共猎鳄季里，大约有6000头鳄鱼被宰杀。大部分鳄鱼是在该州34家有执照的加工厂（或加工商）中的一家结束生命的。 On a recent afternoon in the yellow-walled warehouse that looks like a morgue, workers in yellow rubber aprons sliced into half-skinned gators splayed out on steel tables. 最近某一天的下午，在那个停尸房一样的黄墙仓库里，穿着黄色橡皮围裙的工人们将利刃（增译）切进铺陈在钢桌上的已剥掉半层皮的鳄鱼体内。 A few feet away, others diced up meat into nuggets and filets, while at another table, workers weighed, bagged and boxed slabs of the chicken-like flesh.

The hides, too, were once valuable, used by high-end retailers such as Prada and Gucci for purses, handbags, belts and wallets. 去年，伍德的销售收入是约120万美元，70％来自于普通市价可高达每磅9美元的鳄鱼肉。鳄鱼皮也一度很值钱。高端零售商，如普拉达和古琦（古奇等均可）用鳄鱼皮制作钱包（或女用小提包）、手提包（手提袋）、腰带和皮夹（或钱包或钱夹）。 Alligators also populated Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
