Hope your summer is going well. I thought I'd share an exciting story with you I heard. Seems like with all the slowly Economy going on, people who farm alligators for their hides can't sell their goods. I don't mean they can't sell much crocodile leather handbags for much, I mean they can't get ANYONE to take them!

The places that process them and make them into all those fanatic crocodile leather handbags and cow leather handbags wholesale just don't have enough demand for them anymore. Even the big shots that buy the high great look crocodile leather handbags are exquisite workmanship. So it's not surprising that the crocodile leather handbags and purses are the first to go!
There are a lot of crocodile farms around here in Florida. The guy in the picture above is one of them.  He's ready to kill his whole farm of crocodile because it cost so much to feed and keep them. It's just not worth it anymore. I imagine it will take a while before people start buying the high end products, and crocodile leather handbags is one of the top price items.
Once this guy gets rid of his gators he will freeze the hides and wait until the price picks back up. I guess only a few will come out of this good. You can read about it here: crocodile hides not in demand. So see, even the CEO's are cutting back, poor things! They will have to downgrade to cow leather handbags like the rest of us.
