There's some debate about whether dominion meant "eat up", though -- no record of anyone eating meat until after Noah, at which point God changed things up (Genesis 9:1-3). Although snakes would definitely be allowed under that one. :p:

Also, everything Cheshire Figment just said, especially point #3.

Interesting how God told Noah to take seven pairs of clean animals and only one pair of unclean animals, when the definition of clean and unclean isn't given until Leviticus.
But dominion--if you're a king, you should expect to get a share of the crops your subjects raised, as well as animals raised for meat, and to have your subjects in your army to protect their country. In the Middle Ages--and before--people hardly had any money, so the most common way for people to pay their taxes was with produce and livestock.

I just read recently that they are going to have a paddle board vendor at the lake at Coronado Springs Resort. I remember seeing two young gators in that lake a few years ago, with guests tossing them French fries and teaching them to be unafraid of humans. Hopefully they have evacuated all the gators from the lake to a more fitting place of residence.

Yeah... well... no.

Trouble is, alligators are protected. That means we can't scoop 'em up and move 'em out until they've demonstrated excessive familiarity or contempt for people. Get that witnessed by a trained observer, and we can move that *one* gator down to the Lake Butler.

The rest of them... get to stay. :gator2:

I was just talking to a lifeguard who has worked lake patrol on that lake before the other day, about that very thing...
