After learning that Pilot Flying J was selling grisly “souvenirs” made from the body parts of alligators, PETA contacted the company’s CEO to inform him that alligators are confined in filthy pools before being slaughtered so that these “trinkets” can be sold.

PETA applauds Pilot Flying J for this compassionate decision and sent CEO Adam Wright a box of delicious alligator-shaped vegan chocolates in thanks!
